From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sound

The bass from 50 Cent’s "Candy Shop" rattles my trunk so hard I’m surprised my oversized sunglasses don't vibrate right off my face. I’m idling at the pump, staring at the screen as it hits **$2.27**, wishing I had enough left for more than a few gallons so I could keep cruising in my skinny jeans without a care. If my dad tries to lecture me about my curfew later tonight, I’ll just tell him "You're fired" and keep the volume up to drown out the world. I need to get home anyway to see if my LOL comments finally posted on that new video site everyone's talking about.
