“Don’t worry about it Alice,” Heather sighed. “You just can’t help some
people.”
Alice stared down the street where the boy had disappeared. It took her
a moment to realize she had recognized him. She faintly remembered him being
introduced in her class at school, standing by the teacher. His mop of black hair had looked oily under
the lights, and his hands shaking noticeably. He had looked up once, and she
had noticed his eyes were a startling green, like the glowsticks her mother
used to buy her for summer nights. His name was Matthias, and apparently from
the start there was something odd about him, enough for the kids at school to
start calling him the witch-boy. She wasn’t quite sure why, and she wasn’t sure
she wanted to know.

I can never seem to get character description right, so I'll definitely go back and edit his introduction. Should I probably give some instances on why he is now known as a witch-boy, or leave it at that and bring it up later?
