He was popular, arrogant, and a bully to Ephram, for sure. He definitely had a reason why he was unsure of Ephram. They also had other friends who clearly didn't necessarily look to be perfect gentlemen. I mean, it wasn't just Bright and just Colin.

For me the things are not black and white because Amy was hanging around with them too and she wasn't a bully. So for me it was never cut black clear how much each of them was actually a bully.

I don't know what to think because we really didn't see Bright in general around others to know how he treated people in general.

That's my problem in believing that Bright was a bully. The teasing I agree with you. That we saw. In other words it's a spectrum and we don't know where Bright and Colin fell in that spectrum.

But this is what bothers me... good that he knew he wanted to break up... but... why didn't he break up? He clearly kept her hanging because he was either too distracted by good times with Bright/friends or he kept her hanging since it was clear Amy was really fed up and upset over their situation. I got the impression they had problems for a while. So for me, I don't respect the fact that Colin knew it was over, he didn't want to be with her yet he paused and hesitated in breaking up with her. He should have broken up with her earlier than the flashback but certainly during the flashback. I just hate when people pause and take too long to break someone's heart. It's weak and cruel. Why Colin paused I am not sure. Man up and do it already but he never did.

I see. If a person interprets the things this way I totally see why they would think that Colin was cold.
I actually interpret it quite differently. For me Colin had hard time to break up with Amy. He knew that they had to break up because it wasn't going to work out for them in the long term, but he had hard time letting it go because he respected Amy. He grew up with her. He was best friends with his brother. Amy wasn't just some random girl that he could break up with and never interact with her again. They were friends and I do think that he knew very well that Amy wouldn't take it that well. What we saw as Amy in Season 1 while Colin was in a coma is what would have happened if Colin had broken up with her. Amy needed time to let the idea of being in love go. No matter who the guy was. It was not about Colin. It was about her realizing that she hadn't had that big love that she wanted to think that she had.
