From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sight
The neon glow of the arcade reflects off my metallic leggings as "Boom Boom Pow" thumps through the mall, making the whole floor vibrate under my high-tops. I just saw the trailer for that movie *Obsessed* and honestly, Beyonce looks terrifying, but not as scary as the gas station sign flashing **$3.27**—seriously, my allowance is basically dead before the weekend even starts. I’m currently watching some kid trip over his own skinny jeans while trying to catch a runaway Zhu Zhu Pet, and I actually had to text "rofl" to the group chat because it was so sketchy. Between the retrofits for that old starship in the headlines and my phone buzzing with rumors of this new Windows 7, everything feels like the future is crashing in way too fast.
