From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sight

I’m leaning against the mall railing in my velour track jacket, watching the sun hit the metallic threading on these low-rise jeans until they practically glow. My Nokia 3310 keeps buzzing with texts from guys trying to look cool on their Razor Scooters, but the vibe is honestly so sketchy near the food court today. I just want to drown it all out, so I’m turning up *Maria Maria* on my discman and letting Santana’s guitar solo wash over the noise of the arcade. Between the neon glow of the shop signs and the trucker hats swarming the escalator, everything feels loud, bright, and perfectly Y2K.
