Our good days（2）
    Cathy is tugging my arm and I know whatever I do next will make her mad forever.
    Wait a minute, I say, and run inside to get the five dollars I have three dollars saved and I take two of Nenny's. She's not home, but I'm sure she'll be glad when she finds out we own a bike. When I get back, Cathy is gone like I knew she would be , but I don't care. I have two new friends and a bike too.
    My name is Lucy, the big one says. This here is Rachel my sister.
    I'm her sister, says Rachel. Who are you?
    And I wish my name was Cassandra or Alexis or Maritza—anything but Esperanza—but when I tell them my name they don't laugh.
    　　　　　　　
    凱茜在拽我的胳膊，我知道，接下來我不管做什么，都會讓她永遠生我的氣的。
    等等。我說著跑到屋里拿了5塊錢。我自己存有三塊，又拿了蕾妮2塊。她不在家，可我肯定，她發(fā)現(xiàn)我們有輛自行車會很高興的。我回來的時候，凱茜走了，我知道她會這么做，可我不在乎。我有了兩個新朋友和一輛自行車。
    我叫露西，大的說。這是我妹妹瑞秋。
    我是她妹妹。瑞秋說。你是誰？
    我希望我的名字是卡桑德拉，或者阿勒克西斯，或者瑪芮查——只要不是埃斯佩朗莎，什么名字都可以?？晌腋嬖V她們我的名字的時候，她們沒有笑。
