Narrative:
I was just turning to base leg for runway 21 when I realized that the tower was trying to contact me. I misinterped where the other aircraft was. I was looking ahead of me because I thought I was supposed to be looking for traffic in the right traffic pattern. The traffic was actually to the right of me. I flew in front of the other aircraft, forcing it to go around and miss its final approach.
