★BIRTHDAY STORYTIME★

my friend n i were sitting at the bus stop when a car pulled up for a red light on the street in front of us n they had their windows down so we could hear music playing from the car♪ we looked up n saw a bunch of girls sticking their heads out the window?! then they saw us n started BELTING the song that was playing ('favorite crime' by olivia rodrigo I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP) n since we both knew the lyrics we started singing along w/ themヽ(*・ω・)

then 1 of the girls told us that her ex-bf cheated on her recently?!?! n anotha girl chimed in saying that he cheated on her w/ their bff??!!?!?!? we were like WUHH⎼ Σ(ﾟ口ﾟ;)// but nevertheless we showed our support to the girl (by cussing out said ex-bf n their ex-bff yupyup) 

mind u this entire encounter was happening in the middle of the streets at 11pm.. def qualified as a top10 Core Memory moment fr (*°∀°)=3
