expensive headphones is close to being canon you cowards accept it
A lot of people think that Michael rejected short gremlin boyo when he said 'bye Rich' during the hospital scene
And yeah he kinda did.
But you shouldn't expect him to forgive rich directly after he bullied him and Jeremy.
Not so quick hc: Jeremy and Michaels relationship is really rocky after the Squipcident and they're not as close as they used to be for a while, so Michael gradually begins talking to rich more and more. He learns his side of the Squipcident, they have similar interests or some shit, bOOM awkward date.
