When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML51T9zxU1
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQuVndXsyb
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebuYSQFDCJ
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxylzdg2Cvp
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4aqzFQIHg
I couldn't believe it. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr98qmCtZp
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrJbC5WTPA
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. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL4m0lEWWj
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yIqq3BVAf
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.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uMPW6A94A
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuFcm1H0LL
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC5PAG4vnU
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ectcb5Hk
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRdn2ieTy
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5niOVQjcd
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yqI8cDdqE
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKTTIdvUbk
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCScZdjlDv
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0weXrETrE
And I tried my best not to cry.274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGY9ymHrd6
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QNiZ5wxgu

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!
