At school on Friday, Castle sees kids snickering at Brandon, and he tells them to leave him alone because he knows what it’s like to be teased. Shamika apologizes to him for pointing out his shoes, and Castle accepts.
That night Coach takes the new runners out for Chinese food, a yearly tradition. When they go to Sunny’s house to pick him up, they see that he lives in an affluent neighborhood.
At the restaurant, Coach takes their utensils when the food arrives. They can’t have them back until each team member tells the others a secret. Lu says that he wishes he had a brother so that he could see what he would look like if he weren’t albino. Sunny tells them that his mother died while giving birth to him. She had been training for a marathon before the pregnancy, and his father made him start running. Sunny believes it is to punish him for his mother’s death. Patty tells them that she is adopted but knows her biological mother, who has diabetes and had her legs amputated as a result. She gave Patty up because she didn’t think she could take care of her. Patty sees her every week and runs because her mother can’t.
