Evelyn Essenmacher and her friend Eva Edwards ride a scooter together outside of school, gripping the handlebars tightly as they laugh and try to keep their balance. Essenmacher explained that Edwards often takes her scooter to and from school, and the two friends wanted to see if they could manage to ride it together, just for fun. “I was just trying not to fall over — like, not crash,” Essenmacher said, laughing. “It probably wasn’t the best idea, but it definitely made the school day more exciting.”
