Meet the Tweens!

Our names are Sophia and Mallie and we are really excited to write our monthly column TWEEN SCENE!

Here’s a little bit about us: We have been friends since Kindergarten and got really close in Sixth grade and now we are inseparable. We started out going to school together and had the most traumatizing moment there. Sophia tripped on a girl’s leg and hit her head on a brick! Mallie witnessed the whole thing! Sophia had to get stitches and now she has a scar but that’s not important! Then we played soccer together for about 7 years! 

Here are some things we like to do: Mallie loves to play soccer, hang out with her friends, play with her dogs, and likes doing gymnastics. Sophia likes to play sports,
hang out with her friends, go to school, make art, shop for clothes, and decorate her room and house.

That’s all we have to tell y’all so let’s get into some things we need to discuss that are more important. This year COVID-19 is all anyone can talk about. First, we got out for spring break. Then we waited for the week to go by so we could finally go back to school but clearly, that didn’t happen. We had to keep waiting for a new date for school to restart and it just kept getting later and later in the year. We missed out on a fun skiing trip to New Mexico that we were very excited for, but it got canceled the day before we left! We also missed out on all the fun, end of the year activities like field trips and yearbook day.

Eventually, it became summer break and we had to wait until August, but even then we weren’t sure school would start or what it would look like. 

It also affected a couple of our friendships because some of our friends couldn’t hang out. It even affected our friendship at first because we could not see each other very much. Right now, COVID-19 has affected our daily lives at school by having to wear a mask almost every hour of the day. The masks make it hard to breathe, hurt our ears and are annoying to wear. However, we would rather wear masks than not go to school at all. In fact, this summer Sophia said she would wear a face shield, and two face masks as long as she got to go to school she didn’t care

We are hopeful COVID will start to die down once winter rolls around because we really hope the school year doesn’t continue like this at all, and worse of all get
canceled!

We hope the adults, kids, or teens reading this enjoyed it and will get excited every month to read our monthly column in Enid Monthly. We both wish you guys a great month and a Happy Halloween! Don’t forget to stay safe and be nice to each other!

BYE!
