When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKpb3taUPF
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqojgzYGSs
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Ethi4VEY
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTvFfbLUjK
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYebkXByFW3
I couldn't believe it. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHy4gX04bV
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi0PVoUgxC
Maybe we could still be friends?
Best friends even.
And either way, I thought, cheerfully getting into the car, it was still really fun to fence. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ316BBSKB
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNlbYpciQ
So, we went.
And problem one arised.
We had...misread the time, and gotten there thirty minutes late.
My heart sunk when the Teacher told me I would just have to sit there and watch while everyone else practice, and I forced myself to hold back my tears that were burning.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviB8JL1sRX
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYKp3Y8PY4
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QSL7KVa48
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynlmVGaR4L
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVQ2OVawwC
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8YCwMPJm
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtymWSFQZ4h
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLziEqsYRAx
199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9Y1BbBSl
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGltY819tRA
And I tried my best not to cry.199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UA5KJibre
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazY1GnRVNz

I know this story isn't super sad, but most of the time when I'm down it's anxiety, or it's just a bunch of different memories and problems combining together, or I'm just upset and I don't know why.
But, also, this memory leads to one of my happiest memories! (My parents cheering me up) so that's also really nice!
