From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sound
The street is a chaotic symphony of Sean Kingston’s "Beautiful Girls" blaring from a passing Honda and the constant, metallic screech of the subway below. I’m just trying to ignore my peeps and zone out, but the air is thick with the clicks of sliding keyboards and the high-pitched chirp of Nextel chirps. My eyes are glued to Mike’s palm, where that sleek, glowing iPhone (1st Gen) looks like something from the future compared to my busted Razr. He’s trying to act all "scene" and aloof, but the way he’s sliding his finger across that glass screen feels like a total revelation.
