From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sound
The tinny bass of Mims’ "This Is Why I’m Hot" rattles my eardrums through these cheap earbuds while I loiter outside the deli, wishing I had that new iPhone instead of this cracked Razr. Everything is getting so expensive that Moms actually complained about a loaf of bread being **$1.12** this morning, which is honestly hilarious because she’s always so dramatic. I just rolled my eyes and texted "lol" to my best friend, the buttons clicking loudly in the afternoon sun. I can hear the roar of traffic and the muffled beat of some scene kid's car stereo thumping down the block, making the whole street feel alive.
