I think it'd make sense for them to at least know of one another's parents, to be honest. But yeah, I agree about them being friends. Alistair is more likely to gravitate towards the people who seem like himself, since Ohio isn't really their natural habitat. :P
Oh, Gabe. Alistair probably wouldn't try to speak to you unless you speak first, but they might be okay once the ball starts rolling.
Hurrah, some people who don't have issues! I do feel like Ali will talk to Mr Kennedy about Alexa though, just to make sure that nothing happens to her at school/so people can keep an eye on her. But he has no real problems of his own, so that's a relief. :)
