Oxford Latín Parody (Quintus x Marcus)

Chapter 2

Quintus went hom that day crying. The school bully, Decimus had gotten in a fight with him because Quintus' family was poor.

Decimus' father was friends with Flaccus, Quintus' father. So that made it impossible for Quintus to tell his father that Decimus bullied him.

The. Next day at school Quintus was putting his stone tablet into his rucksack, readying himself to go home, when he felt a hand cover his mouth and yank him around to the back of the old school house.

His eyes widened when he saw Decimus' sneering face looking down at him."What do you want Decimus?" Quintus scowled.

Decimus laughed and punched him in the nose, causing blood to spurt out onto Quintus' white robes. He screamed in pain as Decimus pushed him to the ground. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME??!!" Quintus asked as his vision went blurry.

Decimus stopped and looked shocked. "B-because I uh like y-you. . . " he. Mumbled. Quintus stared at him.

Quintus knew that he was gay but didn't know that Decimus was as well.
"Decimus why would you bully me if you like me?" Quintus asked softly.

A tear slipped down Decimus' cheek. He bent down next to Quintus and buried his face in his hands. Quintus put a hesitant hand on his back and sat there until Decimus stood up and staggered away.

It was going to be and awkward rest of the year. . .
