Chapter 53 Summary: “Bunny”
On the bus ride home, Bunny keeps texting Nasir, apologizing for winning. Nasir doesn’t respond. Bunny’s teammates chant his name and thrust the trophy in his hands. He feels a mixture of joy and guilt.
Chapter 54 Summary: “Nasir”
After the game, Nasir continues to ignore Bunny’s apology texts. He asks his parents to drive him to Bunny’s house, but they say no because it is snowing. Just after one o’clock in the morning, Nasir hears soft knocks at the door and goes down to see that Bunny has come over. Bunny asks him to go to the basketball courts so they can talk, and Nasir agrees.
When they reach the courts, Bunny apologizes again for winning, telling him that he really tried to lose. However, he also points out that it was never fair for Nasir to ask him to throw the game in the first place because he is not responsible for Wallace. Nasir says that he shouldn’t have kept the game so close if he really wanted to lose. Bunny admits he is right and apologizes again.
