From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sound

The low hum of Alicia Keys’ "Fallin'" drifts through my headphones as I trudge past the empty, eerie stillness of the Waikiki shoreline. It’s totally sketchy how quiet the beaches are lately, but at least the mall is loud enough to drown out the news. I’m currently staring at the new Cloe and Sasha Bratz Dolls at the toy store, and **omg**, those platform boots and glittery eyes are literally everything. I just need to find a way to ignore the weird vibes of this month and focus on getting my hands on that edgy gear.
