When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2L4RMwQe
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiPArFQSWt
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tQe0eNIRX
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMGAXtfGZh
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCX4RhEGPM
I couldn't believe it. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOZakBiWwq
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmVPl3eAyH
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. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKXP6aRYqU
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxUOIokQqn
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlQXLC2IE
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcY9kNUqzI
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGKilEutCq
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJGedTF1V9
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKF3iaPO5Q
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfc8AtRFh5
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsBHeNFAEu
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQ5f0t21W
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q5AxGRxve
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcr3C9Ye25
And I tried my best not to cry.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8OK5T1Rl
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZdsRUUPdA

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!
