When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QxE14cDnO
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3HtKVFQlN
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ7qMzWxRw
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo210XwxJ8
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsCL53FZFO
I couldn't believe it. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g3LoOnvrO
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wBzIecX8F
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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOuE5irOxO
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8L9KeikTo
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.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i1XnaVWgj
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsek5s69kzA
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCAoohbkLk
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBmRgF4GfF
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C47XJPsEk
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZO9x9IfUJ
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSaldBXZUo
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVEt6zboL
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGMKlfKAiw
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyC0tsACK1
And I tried my best not to cry.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER5tghQFwr
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbAVlp7XH3

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!
