“I met an invalid, and fell for his art
He showed me his smile, and went straight
for my heart”
-From "A Child's Walk Home," Nursery Rhymes and Folk Tales
About ♥ Alex:
When Lena meets Alex he is posing as a security guard for the testing center. He has the mark which proves he is cured, but isn't he the boy she saw during her testing? Wasn't he laughing?
Yes, yes he was! Alex is in fact an invalid, someone who isn't even supposed to exist and even better he is from The Wilds!
The Looks:
" His hair is golden brown, like leaves in the autumn just as they're turning, and he has bright amber eyes. The moment I see him I know that he's one of the people responsible for this. I know that he must live in the Wilds; I know he's an Invalid. Fear clamps down on my stomach, and I open my mouth to shout something - I'm not sure what, exactly - but at precisely that second he gives a minute shake of his head, and suddenly I can't make a sound. Then he does the absolutely, positively unthinkable.
He winks at me"
Umm Swoon much?! Did Alex really just wink at Lena during their very first meeting! Yes, Yes he did. Alex has Golden Brown hair the color of autumn leaves just as they are turning and bright amber eyes, and caramel colored skin (tan hottie much?!). And who could forget about that killer smile which he uses to dazzle Lena...and all of us as well!
If you were on the fence about how much of a sexy hottie Alex is I would like to present
Exhibit ♥ :
BAM!!
Woo if that doesn't give you a severe case of amor deliria nervosa I'm not sure what will!
“He Is looking at me through the smoke, across the fence. He never takes his eyes off me. His hair Is a crown of leaves, of thorns, of flames. His eyes are blazing with light, more light than all the lights in every city in the whole world, more light than we could ever invent If we had ten thousand billion years.”
The Personality:
And on top of all this...he falls in love with Lena and allows her to make her own assumptions about the government. Alex never forces Lena to believe something he shows her all the sides and then lets her decide.
He is confident and supportive:
“There's that confidence again, that semi-infuriating easiness of his, the tilt of his head and the smile. but today it's not infuriating. Today I like it, feel like it's somehow rubbing off on me, like if I was around him enough I would never feel awkward or frightened or insecure.”
A boy who can make a girl feel confident and better in a world full of lies and secrets *swoon*
And persistent:

And persistent:
“For a second we just stand there in silence. Then, suddenly, Alex is back, easy and smiling again. “I left a note for you one time. In the Governor’s fist, you know?”
I left a note for you one time. It’s impossible, too crazy to think about, and I
hear myself repeating, “You left a note for me?”
“I’m pretty sure it said something stupid. Just hi, and a smiley face, and my
name. But then you stopped coming.” He shrugs. “It’s probably still there. The
note, I mean. Probably just a bit of paper pulp by now.”
Alex was determined, even when he didn't know who Lena was, even when he just looked at her from afar he was doing cute sentimental things like leaving notes in statutes just on the off chance she might notice and read them! So freakishly cute I could scream ^^
