In my school, bullies when reported will be shamed along with their parents. Teachers when noticed bullying on spot will smack the bully so hard that they will never ever try to lay their eyes on their victim. I used to be a whiny and dominant as a kid to my benchmate who was never vocal about their complains. So people used to think I bully him and come defending like soldiers (which is I'm glad they did but it changed my personality 180° to coward and indecisive person). So I want people to take care of bully issues PROPERLY. Handling it badly like I mentioned about my school is as bad as ignoring it. It should vary for different age groups. If it's a child it must be disciplined so that a child can understand. If a high schooler does, make sure they really get the consequences.
Tbh I'm glad the author didn't push Daniel and Lucian to be a couple and let it flow naturally as both Jeremy and him are truly in love. This seems more realistic to me. Real life stories could be wierd and confusing but when it comes to art, is not very appreciated.
So...what happened to Daniel ?? Did he leave the academy or smthng ??? I stop reading this for a while.
Nope, everything is fine. He just didn't become Lucian's lover.
