Before COVID started I was content with my life. I was training at Glasgow Park for track and field, a sport I gained a new affinity for. I was going to one of my favorite places to go to in Delaware, the Christina Mall.
It was one of my favorite places since I would see my friends out of school and hang out with them without teachers or work stopping us. It was also my favorite place since I also like to go shopping for clothes and shoes like Zumiez, Champs, DTLR, and Foot Locker. Then covid froze the world.
Like everyone else in America, me and my family quarantined through the pandemic. Since this was my first time experiencing a pandemic I was naive and thought this was only going to last a month or less then everything would go back to normal. I was extremely wrong. Quarantining took all the good things and the stuff that I liked and doubled the stuff I despised.
Thanks to covid I had to still go to school but without the funny conversations, I would have had with friends. I was robbed of so many things from my 8th grade year like our end of the field trip to Six Flags and our end of the year dance and more memories with the people I knew for three years. Then since track season was canceled I felt unmotivated to workout and do track. So most of the day I just spent in my room listening to music, watching TikTok, or tv.
BEEP* BEEP*
I was just laying in my bed scrolling through my TikTok for your page to find some sort of entertainment on this mundane quarantine day. Then suddenly I hear my name screamed by one of my “DAMMMIRR” I sighed heavily knowing that my parents are calling my name for one thing and one thing only, to do the most tiresome task. I rolled my body out of my bed and walked downstairs like a zombie to the living room. My mom told me to clean up the kitchen and living room. This request woke me up from my zombie-like state. I immediately said that’s my sister’s job to clean up the living room.
DAMMMIR
Clean up the kitchen and living room
Which I automatically rebutted by “Just do it!” I knew I should end the argument right there because progressing any more into this argument would be progressing into dangerous land. These dangerous lands include getting my phone taken and in quarantine is a punishment I wouldn’t wish on anyone. So I held my frustration and swallowed it was things like this that made me repent the idea of spending more time than needed with my family during the quarantine.
My family wasn’t the only thing I was more distant from, I was also becoming more distant to my best friends. I went from playing ps4 and fornite with them every day to barely getting on in a month. Since quarantine freed me from all plans, I started to play on my ps4 more and more to the point where I became bored with it and stopped playing. Then there were some days where I wanted to get on ps4 but me and my friends' conversations just were dry, but when I do get back on ps4 its still not as fun since me and my ps4 friends went our different ways at different schools
.....so it been a while.....
And since I didn't get the chance to talk to them in school I rarely spoke to them. And then I lost friends that are going to different schools like Hodgson and Christina. I knew someday it would be bound to happen but I didn't think it would be that fast. Covid cut the end of my 8th grade early when I wasn't ready and when I wasn't expecting it.
