When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhghyPD0hmP
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OwL2lQ8Ek
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jmZAgmkFL
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsDv6n1Na
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOn1KSy5xW
I couldn't believe it. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoABHEFzs72
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJInnyQGgq
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. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgRtHCxB9r
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWqNhTkAYt
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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwvH6GqWR
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0qk6854hk
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQ53F66CW
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCij4DcRTm5
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hWc02V9dn
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW9SUvbXMk
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXmV8WD8CQ
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaTcYqY4zy
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpMu9p7ZpQ
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2D5LIJqtW
And I tried my best not to cry.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsQv1zcA1C
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqML9sSiVWt

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!
