Alistair William Talsworth
It looked like ever was as excited as Ali was. Ethan sounded more and more like his kind of guy with every sentence. He'd never exactly worried about fitting in at this school - he stood out wherever he went, but always got along with people - but now he was sure he'd found a place to truly belong. In his own, stand-out way, of course. And he was still the most handsome. And tonight, he'd cement his position at the party. Seemed like nothing could go wrong at this point.
Oh crap.
The moment he thought that treacherous thought Ever seemed to recognize some grim-looking kid who did not at all match the cheery description of Ethan as... Ethan. Apparently this surprised her as much as anyone, judging by her tone of voice, and she seemed pretty worried to find him like that. Ali followed her over to hover just behind and to the right of her, but didn't feel this was the time to open his mouth. Normally he would've loved to make his introduction ASAP, but there's a time and a place to be chatty, which is anytime and anyplace, but not here and not now.
