When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8JFqx3hT5
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BSytymv6
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnuLzRg8cM
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnZ2TXLNqB
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoIqXPFhNS
I couldn't believe it. 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKCmazL3Sh
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K8VVWq4Ta
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. 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9CzhilNmL
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLytdkZNbV
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.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4wy5ECXe
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgkVrlqDXs
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pd55qeb84
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMHl2Nozan
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNveQ5t55o
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUImCe2EHbl
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokDFxxxKdV
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9coagy7jwS
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1jo3NHYhA
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LJ53a62wr
And I tried my best not to cry.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl9QpxWGkL
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiUTZ97PoQ

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!
