When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEjXxu6gTz
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMN6Yw9UIR
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGOz51CsTC
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUGB2L31tv
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfWePm2vsG
I couldn't believe it. 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kVomzGvgT
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXnn3lXq4m
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. 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmtWSIeP1
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwNqXU0set
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ljsEI7dg
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ihPYyPy6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBipSv8LnC
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInz9PI3GH
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY6VgD9EJS
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwtm241UgK
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5Znb91bUS
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFthUzf4fOB
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUrEg59SkI
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJN8ZR2ktG
And I tried my best not to cry.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC4jDLwaP4
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVsw1R49GN

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!
