I leaned against the brick wall, twisting my Rubik’s Cube until the neon orange stickers blurred under the flickering streetlights. My shoulder pads felt massive beneath my oversized jacket, and the screech of protesters down at Sydenham Hospital almost drowned out the radio.
Diana Ross was belts out "Upside Down" from a passing car, and I couldn't help but spin in circles to the beat. If my mom makes me go to one more rally instead of the arcade for Pac-Man, I’m going to lose it—seriously, gag me with a spoon.
