From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sight
I’m squinting through my oversized sunglasses at the neon glare of a Best Buy, itching to trade my chiffon layers for an Xbox 360 the second it drops. My skinny jeans are tucked into Uggs as I lean over my laptop, watching a grainy, flickering video on some new site called YouTube while I try to find a party using Google Maps. The headlines about a fiery blast downtown are a total vibe killer, so I’m just vibing to 50 Cent’s "Candy Shop" instead. Brb, my mom is yelling about my eyeliner again.
