the boy who 'raped' Tobias
This could be a sensitive subject to discuss. I hope I can discribe what I mean without crossing the line.
The raper boy (don't really remember his name) was the most violent and homophobic of them all. Do you think he actually felt sexual pleasure when deep-throating Tobias? I think he did, or wanted to do
Because, if you really hate homosexuality and feel very bad about it, you won't put your dick into the mouth of a gay and start to *beep* him that way.
If the teacher never entered the boys' locker room and stopped the rape, I am sure that the raper boy would have gone on until he ejaculated. And that was what he intended all the way. To ejaculate in Tobias' mouth.
He must have been secretly gay or bisexual himself. He wanted to be near other boys, to feel them. But he successfully hide that secret by being violent against Tobias, and saying how gross it was with a gay boy in their class / swimming team.
I just wonder if things have developed different if Tobias had continued to swim in that race where he was leading. The other boys chering for him then, until he "gave up" just to show them he could do whatever he wanted to do. And then they punished him.
