"started talking to this girl, long story short, asked her out, she said no"

So it was 6th grade and we had to run that fitness mile and I was thinking I was a god because I ran a 7:15. So I told all of my friends who ran that I was going to join and I got it all hype over the summer only to not show up to practice the next season. I blamed all of it on the fact that I didn't know when the first practice was and made dumb excuses. Then I went along with life until that next summer and started talking to this girl. Long story short, asked her out she said no. I felt terrible. After that I remembered what I said I was going to go the year before and that was run xc. I ended up joining the team and made my two best friends. fast forward to this past season I was starting out my first high school xc season and had a great season until this past November I moved from Illinois to Alabama. I didn't have many friends to begin with and wasn't even sure if I wanted to run anymore, then i remembered all the great friends and people I met during cross country and decided I was going to run cross country for the rest of high school and have already made some great friends and am ready for a new season in a new place
