Bane_Of_Despair posted... Are you thinking about Will? The whole thing was Mike didn't know she was getting bullied because she kept telling him she was fine in letters and then when he finally saw with the rollerskate incident, he wanted to make sure she was ok. But also even Will was trying to cheer her up as it went on, he just didn't do enough. Which sure you can debate on that he should have done more, but being an extremely shy and non-confrontational person I could see why he might be like that. Like it's not great obviously but again, believable at least to me.
No Im talking specifically
at the roller rink, when El is in the center getting bullied and Mike goes to the DJ. He should have been swinging on the kid filming and especially the kid who threw the milkshake. Literally anyting but standing there like
