Not having a dick moment publicly crushing another old friend of the group in front of the entire class and the teacher, driving her to abandon her life in the town and/or attempted suicide (depending on when we're talking about from their point of view) however I think is more crucial.
He's literally on an Ego Trip where he used all their friends against her to make her feel worthless, completely certain that he's such a great guy, there's no way they'd ever choose her over him. And he was convinced of this, while being the same jackass who had to air their dirty laundry in front of the class.
As powerful as Lucy's ?Drama Queen? is, would you honestly stick around and stay friends with a guy who publicly pulled the kind of shit Mike did, out of anything other than a kind of obligation because you're old friends?
