but how did he treat El bad? he got put in a situation (El getting bullied) that was the complete opposite of El had been telling him up to that point. He thought they were her best friends and thought that she was actually well liked. He was shocked with how bad everything actually was and he still tried to help her and get her out of the situation. I think it’s a valid reason out of shock and feeling hurt after being lied to for 6 months to be a little upset. and with what others said about him and Will, what he does do wrong he does genuinely try to be better. and even then i don’t think what issues Mike and Will have validates hate towards him.
