my friend (5'7") walked next to me (5'11") and people lost their minds

okay so a friend told me this story and it resonated SO hard I had to write it up. 100% real, told as a narrative.

--

So my friend is shorter than me, smaller build too. She's like 5'7". I'm 5'11".

Anyway. One afternoon we went up to the rooftop of the building where my boyfriend lives, hung out for a bit, then decided to head back down. Same way we came.

She's into watches and accessories so we were just wandering around the first floor checking stuff out.

And then I started noticing. People kept looking at us. Not like a casual glance either. The WAY they were staring??? It wasn't a "oh cute store" look. It was a full customer-service employee stare.

Which makes sense actually. Because my friend is a high schooler who just... showed up looking absolutely unhinged. Fitted pants, white hoodie, hat, swimming goggles around her neck.

And me? I was dressed casual bc I was literally just going out to buy stuff. Workout clothes.
