From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Tactile

My thumb is literally raw from slamming my brass slammer against a stack of cardboard Pogs, but I finally won a holographic one. I'm rocking my favorite plaid mini-skirt and this scratchy satin slip dress, trying not to trip over my knee-high socks while I head to the corner store. I’m already down to my last few coins, so paying **$0.79** for a single loaf of bread feels like a total rip-off when I could be saving for a new tiny backpack. Still, "Waterfalls" is blasting from a passing car, and the beat is so **crunk** I can’t even stay mad.
