When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXt9SVGMKG
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALoJHwma1l
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2d6JADvWf
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY3F6uNB9V
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31eALFoeiu
I couldn't believe it. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICKmNVCIu2
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGg0Ba1dpl
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. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDLDaWYFpt
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs6Kz0pXrr
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.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtHO7x2xQU
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiHnIuIe5o
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy44qK72ghS
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WOeVlU5Wf
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFUAelGGQL
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDUHJvbCNU
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaueweIOJB
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQkrvvPu81
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoWix7Rvvf
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn1eC3boRo
And I tried my best not to cry.198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxzYw0DiR9
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvvZnZf5IG

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!
