7.6 Our good days 2 　　Cathy is tugging ['tʌgiŋ] 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 [kə'sændrə] or Alexis [ə'leksis] or Maritza—anything but Esperanza—but when I tell them my name they don't laugh.
