          	  So, for your first question:
          	  
          	  They thought that Alice knew about Jo, and that’s why they seem backhanded towards Alice in some parts, because they thought she knew and was still pursuing her crush on Alex.
          	  
          	  And for number 2:
          	  
          	  Jo knew about Alice and questioned why Alex was always with her when he was in Boston. That’s why he told her that Alice wasn’t his friend, but Jo’s a very smart woman and has known Alex and been with him for years. She could tell when he was lying, but she tried to convince herself Alex was fully hers 'cause she was hurting too. Jo’s pain definitely doesn’t deserve to be overlooked; she was just as betrayed, if not more than Alice.

Okay, I have two:
          	  
          	  Why didn’t people like Nicole, Bay, or Ezekiel tell Alice about Jo, assuming they noticed she liked Alex?
          	  
          	  And, did Jo suspect anything about Alice or think anything of Alex and her? I know Alex told Ezekiel that he told Jo Alice is Nicole’s roommate, not his friend, but Alex was so distant from Jo; did she know anything?
