1. Elliot harassed Ellery on several occasions.
This was not a one-time event, Eliot was a repeat offender. Incident 1 was in Spanish class, when Eliot refused to give Ellery a worksheet. Eliot had two of them, Ellery had none, but Eliot refused to give her a sheet. The second incident was at the capitol. Michael was not there, but he heard Ellery saying that "He is always being mean to me, I wish someone wold tell him to stop whenever I ask him to he doesn't."
2. Ellery charged Eliot earlier in the year, but the case dropped.
Earlier in the year, ELlery charged Eliot for being mean, but the case was dropped. Ellery has already tried to defend herself, but was unsuccessful.
3. Michael came to Ellery's defense when she asked for someone to "Deal with Eliot."
Michael was the bystander who came to the defense of a victim. Just like in the Dateline special, he stood up to the bully, even though the bully wasn't bullying him. Michael is setting an example for anyone and everyone who is a bystander of bullying.
Conclusion: Michael, an innocent bystander, came to the defense if a victim who was being bullied.
