From the day

Perspective: The Teenager · Sight

I’m squinting through these oversized sunglasses at the neon marquee, totally stoked that the remake of *The Fog* is finally playing. Kanye is blasting through my tinny headphones while I adjust my layered chiffon skirt over these tight skinny jeans, trying to look peak **scene** before the lights go down. The mall is a blur of Ugg boots and kids flexing about their Xbox 360 pre-orders, but I’m just trying to ignore the headlines about some new Brooklyn arena. Everything feels electric and loud, like the world is stuck in a grainy YouTube upload.
