Write about something that happened to you that made you feel sad, writing it as though it were a story. - Fencing class.

When I was twelve, I had one and only one goal in mind!543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ULsMdnZY
I needed to make friends before my 13th birthday, so that someone other than my parents and my dogs would show up for it.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOP1GjP9eT

So, I was beaming and ready to go to my second class of fencing.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHgqVenIel

I threw on a T-shirt and shorts, all ready to go out and have fun!543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhIAty1Pfq

I had actually, somehow, found someone who liked three of the things I liked! 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97YetoA8z
I couldn't believe it. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOYrFYWFl0

Sure, she did seem a little shy, and maybe not super nice, but not super mean either!543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbApu1kdOnN

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. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHddd6SIGd

I had been practicing the perfect poses and everything. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifnTLT3pS

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.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9uPgtxKsC

I was just being stupid, and who would cry in front of everyone? 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxEbKauzLq
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpndgLuKCVn
Besides, I could talk to my friend...right?543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRta35UCAwb

"Hi," I said to her, trying my best to smile, noticing she was talking to another boy around my age. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1zEzY0o5z

"Hey," She said flatly, like I was being weird for trying to talk to her, then she turned her attention back to her friend.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIR8SMqco2

I tried to talk a little more, I tried to play with them a little more, but each time, they just shut me down.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZYvPyNiJ8

So, I sat, by myself, for the full class.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb1ed46p7H
543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREIBpMbdb
I couldn't do anything; I couldn't talk to anyone. 543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93T7bySVo

And I tried my best not to cry.543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6JhPAlQO6

Then my parents got me ice cream and cheered me up by being just to hilarious for their own goods!543Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFNRhdPrk0

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!
