The weirdiest thing happened to me today...

So I was working in my parents' shop and it was a pretty slow day. An hour had passed and we had about 2 customers. I was on my own, since the last staff member had left for the day and my parents went to go buy something. I only had about 2 hours of the day left, but it felt like 10 hours.

But then, with around 30 minutes left, a girl around my age walked in. She walked over to the drinks section, bought a bottle of coke and went to the counter to pay. I said that you could buy 2 bottles for £1.50. So she thanked me, grabbed another bottle and then payed for it. She then asked me what my name was, to which I responded "Bhavin, how about you?"

She replied "Annie." We then got into a nice conversation. It turns out that she was new to this area, and she'd be joining my school when half-term ends. It turns out that she'd also be doing similar subjects to me and she was actually a brony (she didn't really like the term pegasister).

So after spending a while talking to her, it was almost time to shut the shop. Then, at that moment, a man wearing a balaclava broke the window and entered the shop. He then told me to hand over the money, which I reluctantly did. He then hit Annie around the back of the head and she fell to the ground. I rushed next to her and saw the bloodstains on the carpet. When I looked back, the man had gone.

I phoned the police and waited next to Annie. Eventually, she was starting to regain consciousness. She asked "What happened?"

That's when I said "Annie are you okay?"
"Are you okay, Annie"
"You've been hit by-"
"You've struck by-"
"A smooth criminal!"
