Sarah saw them, again. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the kids ganging up on the new girl, Lara. She was late to her band practice and only had a few minutes to get there. "I barely know her," she muttered to herself as she walked quickly to the car. "I'm sure she can take care of herself." Sarah knew this was an important rehearsal and could not miss it. "Hurry up," shouted her mom from the driver's seat. Sarah threw her guitar in the back seat and slammed the door. "Let's go," she said. As they rounded the corner and stopped at the stop sign-her heart racing-Sarah looked at her mom. "Mom, Lara needs our help. Let's go back."

We should help those who are in need.

Explanation:

According to the narrative, Sarah was witnessing bullying but she was already late for an important band practice that she could not miss so she made the decision to enter the car and drive away.

She tried to rationalize her decision by saying that the girl could take care of herself. As she rounded the corner, her conscience wouldn't let her be and she asked her mom to turn back because Lara, the girl that was being bullied needed their help.

The theme of the story is that we should help those who are in need.
