have done to help. It was already 1 p.m. on a Tuesday morning. Tara found a black and white dress sort of thing. There was a note attach to it. It said Honey, I had to go off to do some errand but I will be back at 2:30 to take you to court. Where this outfit to the court. Cheer up honey Rebecca would be fine.  Mom p.s. I called in school and excuse you for the whole week.
Tara wasn’t in the mood to go to court. But since she had no choice but to go she had to go. Tara shuffle down the hall into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror she was a hot mess. Tara’s blond hair was in knots and sticking up from every space it had. Her face was pale like a vampire. Tara was glad her mom excused her from school because she don’t want to be looking like a Frankenstein mixed with Dracula. But who could blame Tara for looking like a mess. Her best friend is in the hospital and don‘t even know if she is okay.
“HUFF” Tara sighed like she gave a damn on how she look. Tara walked down the old brown wooden stairs into the kitchen. She grab some S’mores cereal and milk. She pour them into an white bowl. She plop down on her sofa and turned on the T.V. CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! Tara couldn’t decide what to watch. All there is news, Ice Age, Curious George, etc the lame baby shows. Tara came by on Spongebob. It was Tara’s favorite show no matter how gay Patrick and Spongebob acted. After the episode ended it was already 2:00. Tara decide to go change for court and fix herself. Tara don’t want people to think she’s a freak.
She changed into the white and black dress which fitted her perfectly fine. Tara wondered where her mom had the money to buy a dress. “Time for hair!” Tara groaned in her mind with annoyance. After half an hour of thug and pulling her blond knotted hair turned into straight hair. Tara glanced on the floor which was filled with blond hair. Tara looked like she was losing hair. Tara heard jingles of keys fitting into the front white wooden door. The jingle stopped. The door swung open. That made Tara’s skeleton jump out of her.
“Honey are you ready!” Tara’s mom shouted. Tara jog down the stairs cause if she don’t hurry up her mom would come up here and see the mess she made in the bathroom with her hair. Tara jumped into an old gray Honda car made in 1997. The car was running already. Tara’s mom got into the car and stared at Tara questioned “Are you fine?”
Tara just nod she honestly didn’t feel like talking to anyone at this point of time she was to sad. They drove insolence for about 25 minutes to reach to a court named Howard Court Of Rights. Tara looked out the window and saw a Asian girl with brown hair. Tara couldn’t really see her face cause of the sun glare but she was waving at Tara. Tara and her mom got out of the car. The Asian girl started to walk there way. As she got closer she saw her face. It was Yuki.
“HEY! Are you okay? I’m really sorry about what happen I didn’t see her walking across the streets.” Yuki greeted.
“Yeah I’m fine its okay. Rebecca would get better soon. Its just I don’t have anyone to hang out with.” Tara said rudely like she was forgetting to mention she had a friend named Rosie.
“It’s okay. You wana hang out later. I lost my job anyway so I have nothing else to do but look for a job.” Yuki responded.
Tara was thinking how to respond. “Should I go hang out with her?” Tara questioned herself. “Maybe Tara need someone to get her mind out of the killer.” thought to herself. “Sure okay.” Tara replied to Yuki. Tara and Yuki was walking side by side to the court. Tara’s mom walked behind them. Tara, Yuki, and Tara’s mom took the seats in the court room. Yuki had to sit in the cage thingy area with a police inside with her. Tara had to sit those side box thingies.
Just then when the clock ringed for 3:00 an old age bald head guy enter the room. Tara saw on an show called Court & Law how people stand up when Judges came into the room. So Tara stood up. She realized no one was standing up besides her. She felt embarrassed and her face turned bright red.
“Good morning, Yuki and Tara. I’m Howard Frazier.” The old age judge greeted. “As I heard, that Rebecca was gotten hit by this young lady Yuki. Tara there is the witness. Am I’m right?” Howard asked.
Tara and Yuki nodded at the same time. “Okay. So let me here your side of your story Yuki.” Howard requested.
“Well. I went to Publix Factory to pick up orders and deliver to Publix Supermarket. I was passing by a farm house yard. Then all the sudden a red head girl run across the street. I was going on 40mph so I couldn’t stop on time from hitting her. She was like 2 miles away from me when I saw her running across to the street.” Yuki stated.
Howard nodded as he understood what happen. Howard turn to Tara and said “Tara your turn please.”
Tara took a deep breath and begin “ I texted Rebecca to come over to my house after school. She.” Tara was paused by Howard. He requested to see Tara’s phone message with Rebecca. Tara stood up and walked over to hand it to him.
Howard went to Tara phone with a pleasure. “Please continue your story.” Howard finally said.
“Well, then she said she was almost to my house. I saw Rebecca across the street. So I started walking. When Rebecca saw me she started running towards me. Then I heard screaming and saw Rebecca on the floor.” Tara concluded.
“Okay thank you for both sharing your sides. I hope you were saying all truths because the street where it happen had an traffic camera. Let roll the tape.” Howard said with delight.
Tara was getting freaky by the moment. Is it that Howard like being a judge or like proven who fault was it. Either way it was freaking out Tara. Yuki had the same expression as Tara did. Howard was a psycho. That’s a fact.
A giant 60” inch plasma T.V. was launch down from the roof. It started playing. Tara and Yuki recognized Rebecca walking down the street. Tara notice the Publix car was coming. But Rebecca didn’t look to see if cars were coming. Yuki must have notice it too. Rebecca was running across the street to Tara. Then all the sudden Rebecca got hit. It was worse this time seeing an replay.
“Well, well, well, I guess who fault it is now huh? Its was clear enough it was Rebecca fault. First she was jay walking which means she wasn’t crossing the street on the sidewalk. Second she didn’t look to see if there was car coming.” Howard concluded.
“But, don’t worry she wouldn’t have to face any charges. She did it to herself and for Tara hers your phone.” Howard extending the phone back to Tara. “Lastly no one faces charges. Yuki I heard you lost your job right. Well.” Howard said extending a folder to Yuki. “You would get your truck driving licenses back and you could also get your job back. You just have to show your boss the folder. Okay case close! Nice seeing you girls. Have a wonderful day.” Howard said as he leaves the courtroom.
Yuki was lead out of that box with the bars. Yuki and Tara walked up to each other. They glanced looks at each other. Tara could feel the frown on her face think she caused all this if she hadn’t told Rebecca to come over to Tara’s house. Tara was feeling bad enough Rebecca got hurt now it was all her fault.
Tara’s mom rubbed Tara’s back whispering “Everything is going to be alright.” Tara’s mom gave Tara a kiss on her forehead trying to comfort Tara from crying.
“Um, so you still wana go somewhere?” Yuki asked. Yuki stared at Tara for an answer. Yuki had an concern look on her face.
“Sure what the heck I need to get this sadness out my mind.” Tara responded gracefully so Yuki and her mom would think she’s okay.
“Okay so let me drive us there. Your mom could run some errands or relax. She had enough for today. Ima meet you outside.” Yuki concluded before exiting the courtroom. Tara’s mom handed Tara some money for the mall.
“I actually have stuff to do have fun okay.” Tara’s mom stated and walking to the exit. Leaving Tara all alone in the courtroom. Tara didn’t want Yuki to wait so she ran out the courtroom.
“Is she my new friend now?” Tara thought as she exit the courtroom.
Chapter 8 YIKES!
Tara got onto Yuki's car and they hit the road to the mall. It was a silence drive. They just listen to Kristina DeBarge album exposed. Tara was just looking out the window to find something to talk about. "So where do you want to shop at first?" Yuki said braking the silence. "Umm it doesnt really matter. I only have $50 bucks on me. So i guess a couple shirt and pants." Tara replied. "Ooo look a McDonalds. I have to go piss." Yuki said with pride. The car stoped. Tara was told to come along to McDonalds and buy something to eat. Inside of McDonalds was barely anyone. Tara sat down in one of the booths and wait for Yuki to come out. Tara was checking on her phone for the time. 5:46 TUESDAY. 4 more days till Sunday which means "MET MY SISTER KILLER" Tara thought. The restroom door opened. Yuki exited out of the restroom. "hey so want to grab anything? Ima go get myself a Vanialla Shake." Yuki said like so need more liquid in her system to make another stop at the bathroom. "Ummm sure I guess I'll have the same but without cherry." Tara answered. The two girls walked out McDondals into the car. As Tara got into the car. A person across the street from McDondals with a black hoodie over their head looked at Tara. Stared at Tara for a few second and pulled out a picture. Tara qwint her eyes to make out what or who was on the picture. It was getting fimilar to Tara. A couple more qwinting and staring. Tara realized the picture was it LILY!!!"THE KILLER!!"

Tara screamed in her head. Lily was smiling in the picture for her birthday party before she gone missing. The person with the black hoodie got the signal that Tara knew who was in the picture. The person ripped the picture into two pieces and threw it on the floor. Suddenly a city bus pulled up to the killer. The bus covered the killer which was making Tara wondering who the hell is the killer. The bus started moving and crowd couple of people let the bus. Tara's eye search for the killer in the crowd. But the killer was gone. Tara got into the car now. "What was the hold up?" Yuki asked. "oh nothing I thought I saw someone from school." Tara said lying to her new friend. "I am super sorry but I
