For goodness sakes! Mike is just your typical teenage hormone riddled kid. I'm sure he did have impure thoughts about Bella....but lots of teenage boys go thru phases like that. Uhhh...its called 'being normal.'  I like Edward just fine...but he makes such snap decisions and places people in such shallow categories. So...the problem is simply this, a teenage boy (Mike) develops a crush on a teen girl (Bella) and actually has some impure thoughts about her (Gasp! How could he!!) I think that's just a bit hypocritical. Especially since so many teen girls have the same impure thoughts about Edward. I liked Mike, because he was one of the few characters that was just a normal human being. I mean... he didn't go around drinking blood and all...but he was still a nice guy. He's also one of the few friends of Bella's that stayed true to her. Bella lost many of her friends over time...especially because Edward basically freaked them out. But Mike remained her friend even after she chose Edward. Give the guy a break.
