Let me start out by just telling you that I grew up in a small town in Fresno County. This town is a few miles from another small town called Reedley. Most of my friends are from Reedley because they're the type of people that I like being around. Reedley is like most small towns. Everyone knows everyone especially if you're white. During the winter break I leave L.A. to stay with my parents in that live in this area of Fresno County. This is where the story starts: Me visiting my parents on winter break.
One day I am in a Save Mart (supermarket chain) with my sister. We're shopping and my sister, who is not all there mentally due to having a stroke as a child, drops eggs. She starts breaking down because she can't take being embarrassed. There is this douche looking bro laughing at her. I get pissed. I dont say shit I just look at the dude like I was Alex from A Clockwork Orange about to fist his gloopy mot.
He walked to this group. He tells them what happen they look at us and most of them start laughing. Only one of them doesn't laugh she just stares at me. I stare back. Shes like my perfect type. She wasn't just staring at me like a normal stare. I see her mouth my name Jerry and then she says its you in a surprised manner. Of course I am standing there looking at her because I have no clue who she is. I've never seen her before. The store clerks starts cleaning up to my surprise an old high school friend is working there now. I ask him if he knows that chick he says nope. My sister and I continue to shop. When we're checking out and that group ends up behind us. I tell my sister I am going to the redbox machine. As I am looking through the movies the girl walks up to me. We start to chat and I have no idea who she is but shes acting like we know each other. Next thing I know someone is trying to pick me up from behind almost like a suplex. I wrap my leg under his and drop my weight. Im thinking that bro fucker wants to fight and I flip. I reverse and hit the dude with a modified hip toss. Well it wasn't that guy it was my cousin that I haven't seen in years. He gives me a hug and picks me up because he is an ogre. When things settle down that chick is gone, I see her getting into a bro truck. She leaves; I dont get her name.
Skip to last Wednesday I am at a Dodgers game by myself because all my friends cancel. I'm sitting there in my own row and the row in front of me fills up a bunch of hot chicks. A few innings into the game they start chatting it up. We start talking about where we are from and when I mention Reedley this Asian girl in the group talks about how her roommate is from there. I pay it no mind. The Dodgers get slaughtered and I leave.
Now today happens. I'm visiting my parents for the next 2 weeks. So I can also spend time with my father and my son. I decided to check tinder. Im searching through girls in this area and there is the supermarket girl. I start looking through her pictures and she has one with another chick. The Asian girl from the Dodgers game. I look at her info and says New to Los Angeles. Grew up in a small town in Central California. I freak out. I take screen shots of her profile to show to a couple of friends. Its that girl. I swipe right. Not even a minute goes bye and I start getting messages. This is how it goes.
Her: Hi Jerry ______! (She knows my last name. That was a surprise)
Her: You live in LA too? Thats why I never saw you around Reedley with your friends.
Her: Im in Reedley but I am going back to L.A. tomorrow.
Me: How do you know me?
Her: What? Are you serious?
Me: Yes.
Her: While it has been years.
Her: Anyways, I remember our short convo and how pissed you looked when my friends laughed.
Her: That was sweet. Anyways, I have to go. Find Me Jerry. Do the work and we will go on a date. I'm in L.A find me. Bye.
Me: What? (She doesn't respond back)
This happened at 10 am. Its almost been twelve hours. I've sent text messages to all my friends around her age (shes 26). None of them know her. I called my friend that went to the rich kid private school. He looked through his and his sisters yearbooks. Nothing. My best friend who is her age has no idea who this chick is. I have no idea how she knows my full name. Im thinking she lived out on a farm and went to a different high school because that happens around here. It still doesn't explain how she knows me because I swear until we met in Save Mart I had never spoken to her.
So what do you think? Should I try and find her? Isn't this strange. Like that Asian chick and she being friends is fucking weird right? Seeing her in a picture with the Asian chick is the only reason I don't think this is some elaborate trick by a friend. Her knowing my last name. The fact she knows who my friends are, yet none of them seem to know her. Even my BRO friends said they have never seen her. At least I know her first name now. This type of shit only happens in movies.
All be up all night manually going through everyones friend's list seeing if I can find her.
