When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMWCIueh1I
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWibakn3BQM
So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlnbDWdhlP
I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGUARr3aIT
I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW0cz48v7W
I couldn't believe it. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK2qMxetkv
Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKhGTD0u2z
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. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81cQaEmQih
I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU5SuTdOSg
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.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SndRb0sPc
I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXDi335kV
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKyUfqVfW
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt0twbFLoG
"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyuNMdUqk
"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNmnbgleBD
I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkoozvIiD
So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENBdsZ2iZe
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUJOrz7ZmN
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsXf4Ive4z
And I tried my best not to cry.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbQQMrwmQs
Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMPdRfsOI

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!
