@ViolentViolet Did you know that Norman Reedus and the actress who played Beth were dating at the time they did that season. That's why they gave them that relationship. I don't know if they are still dating though.
I just have a feeling Melanie, Kiyo, Darian, and Gigi are going to see a lot more of how awkward Alex can be. He'll hide his embarrassment in class but if he is alone with just people from that list it will be like a snowball effect.
