Agreed with both of you. I can't imagine Bright beating people up, or letting goons beat people up. Even this Bright, who is so different from the Bright we all know and adore. Intimidation was definitely his thing.
And writing in girls' handwriting, apparently.
I'm also wondering if Bright and Colin were bullies, or if Bright became more of a bully once Colin was in a coma? Kind of a defense mechanism since his best friend was no longer there? Because when Colin comes back, it's not like they walk around beating people up and stealing their lunch money. They're just...popular.
