When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!45Please respect copyright.PENANAEIndhaVM4m
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.45Please respect copyright.PENANAe7JxwQVsVa
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.45Please respect copyright.PENANARd9N9gPfqS
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!45Please respect copyright.PENANAAdzCQxTYdE
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 45Please respect copyright.PENANAmg4xEBZ5QU
I couldn't believe it. 45Please respect copyright.PENANAphQSB5ZdWy
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!45Please respect copyright.PENANADwnnfgu7MZ
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. 45Please respect copyright.PENANAPPnkpb1B05
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 45Please respect copyright.PENANAO6e1J5AxNe
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.45Please respect copyright.PENANASJWhd8evDW
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 45Please respect copyright.PENANAJyWSf27diO
45Please respect copyright.PENANA41W5MJVOKE
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?45Please respect copyright.PENANAGsmYl7Jilb
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 45Please respect copyright.PENANA6F39trXZ61
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.45Please respect copyright.PENANAy9TOvOqDhP
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.45Please respect copyright.PENANAtoE3lEM3Yc
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.45Please respect copyright.PENANAoOZkSTtXlh
45Please respect copyright.PENANAwKM3dRkMdo
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 45Please respect copyright.PENANArZQ69RN7f9
And I tried my best not to cry.45Please respect copyright.PENANAAj10SWeiSG
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!45Please respect copyright.PENANAKfsmrBOxAC

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!
