When a stranger approaches you on a night out and says that you look familiar and asks where they know you from the answer will depend on whether they are totally hot or not.

People always ask Coco ‘where do I know you from’
Coco was an ordinary girl with an extraordinary face. Everywhere she went, people would stop and stare, trying to place where they had seen her before. “Do I know you from somewhere?” they would ask, their brows furrowed in confusion.
Coco had grown used to these questions and had developed a standard response. “I get that a lot,” she would say with a smile. “I just have one of those faces, I guess.”
But deep down, Coco wondered if there was more to it. Why did everyone seem to recognize her? Was there a hidden story behind her familiar visage?
One day, as she was walking in the park, a stranger approached her with the same question. “Where do I know you from?” he asked, peering at her intently.
Coco took a deep breath and decided to delve into the mystery. “Actually,” she began, “there’s a tale behind my face. It all started when I was a child…”
She went on to recount the extraordinary adventures she had experienced, the people she had met, and the places she had visited. As she spoke, the stranger’s eyes widened with amazement.
“I think I remember now,” he exclaimed. “You were in that viral video from years ago!”
Coco nodded, feeling a sense of relief and closure. From then on, she embraced her unique identity, knowing that her face held a multitude of memories and stories, each waiting to be discovered by those who crossed her path.
