The rehearsal at the school didn't go as well as Lahni planned it to be because of the incident she had with Onyx 1. So, it was finally time for Lahni to tell the truth about Onyx 1 to her mother. Ursula wanted to call the police on Onyx 1, but Lahni said that she didn't have to. After that, Ursula made Lahni call her dad concerning about the singing competition Tim was upset that Lahni didn't tell him sooner, but he was coming. So, Lahni asked her parents a huge favor; they have to sit next to next and pretend as though they are a happy couple. The singing competition is approaching and Lahni still does not have a dress to wear. Then Ursula goes crazy in looking for the perfect dress. Lahni is annoyed and she wanted to go home. After all of this hunting, Lahni found a lavender dress with pearls that Carietta gave her. Her shoes to match with her dress with her dress is a little small for her feet. She is also going to have a big afro. Then, Lahni finally told Katie her big secret that her parents are separated and getting a divorce.

This quote is from Ursula reassuring that her and Tim will not get in a fight. Ursula and Tim know how much this competition means to Lahni and they don't want to be the ones to mess it up.When the competition comes, I wonder if Ursula and Tim are going to keep their promise of siting together and to not get into a fight. Will more people find out about Ursula's and Tim's separation? Will Lahni be distracted while she is singing because of her parents and will that cost her the competition?
what power in these short sentences that Ursula shares with Lahni
