CHAPTER 2

Jasper was determined to win this game. Jasper Hale: Nobody, no girl, ever said no to him. He will get Alice Cullen, no matter what it takes.

"Dude, my sister is a little devil. Watch your steps. Don't fall for her traps." Emmett warned him. "She's tricky."

"Emmett." Jasper called confidently. "Did you forget who I am? Jasper Hale, man. Your sister will be eating from my hands in no time."

Emmett chuckled at that. "We'll see, Jazz. We'll see."

The next day, Jasper's plans were ironed out. Alice wouldn't have the heart to say no to him. Everybody gives in to him. Nobody dares to escape.

Meanwhile, the girls were also planning something for them.

"You know, Al." Rosalie beamed. "You should just make him guess what your favorite color is."

Bella disagreed immediately. "That's too easy! She likes purple. That's obvious."

Alice chuckled at Bella's foolishness. "Not really."

"Well?" Rosalie grinned. "For your information, Miss Isabella Marie Swan slash future Mrs. Masen, my cool cousin Jasper Hale is colorblind."

"He is?!" Alice gasped. "Oh my. What a poor monkey!" She giggled.

"I know, right?!" Rosalie joined in. "That was his dirty little secret!"

"I still don't get it." Bella interjected. "Edward and Emmett were there to help him, hello?"

Rosalie sighed. Bella has a point. "Alice?" She turned to her friend. "What is your favorite color?"

Alice raised an eyebrow, her lips pursed. "None."

"See, Bella?" Rosalie giggled. "We'd still win!"

They hugged each other, squealing as they did. "Girl power!" They pumped their fists in the air, a sign of early victory.

The next day, Jasper and the guys came bustling into Alice's class. They asked the teacher if they could interrupt for a few minutes, which he agreed, as long as they don't do anything trivial.

Jasper nodded, then stood in front of the class. Rosalie and Bella were laughing furtively at him. He shifted uncomfortably on his feet, something he was not used to doing. He was always confident with girls, but Alice's penetrating gaze was something he couldn't endure.

"A…Alice?" He asked, almost a whisper.

"Yes, monkey?" Alice raised an eyebrow at him. "What do you want?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He beamed. Alice walked over to him, a playful smile was on her face. She kept her arms crossed over her chest as she looked him up and down.

Jasper was well dressed. Even the school uniform looked good on him. Damn, Alice thought, He's quite gorgeous.

She pulled his tie, looking at him seductively. Everyone's eyes were on them, watching the scene heat up. The teacher was nowhere now, so Alice pulled Jasper's face close to hers. Their lips were inches apart, and he could smell her sweet breath as she exhaled.

Alice's heart was beating furiously. She might be bitchy, but she haven't had her first kiss yet. Jasper was gorgeous….and…He's a monkey. She cleared her thoughts, concentrating on the teasing.

"I will be, Jasper." She beamed, pulling his face closer. Jasper's breaths became quick and shallow. He was nervous, for the first time.

"But first," She continued, then pushed him away. She turned around swiftly, intentionally making her short skirt fly with the air so Jasper could peek on her legs.

"Can you guess my favorite color, Jasper?" She asked, the bitchy smile returned on her face.

Jasper stood frozen in place as his mind raced with incoherent thoughts. Color…What is her favorite color? He didn't see that one coming. Rosalie must have something to do with this.

He was colorblind, and he didn't really care. It was something he wasn't proud of, but he wasn't ashamed, either. He learned to embrace it. It didn't really bother him until now.

Emmett sensed his friend's discomfort, so he came to the rescue. Jasper's forehead was covered in sweat. "It's purple, Alice. Everybody knows that/" Emmett rolled his eyes at his sister.

Alice scoffed at him. "You're wrong!" She went back to her seat, beaming proudly as Rosalie and Bella gave her the thumbs up sign.

"Jasper," she called out before Jasper could step out. He turned around to ask her why. "You can have me after you've guessed correctly." She winked, he turned away.

"Damn, Jasper. What was that?!" Edward berated him as soon as they got out. "You were stuttering! Dude, that was Alice. Alice Cullen, the ant! The pesky baby sister! Why were you so frozen?"

"Edward," Jasper sighed. He would turn this conversation around. "It was not her. I am colorblind, how the hell would I know what her favorite color is? I don't even know what green looks like for real. All I see is black and white and gray."

"I'm sorry." Edward muttered. "We'll help you, don't worry."

Emmett was still scrunched up in thought. "Purple is her favorite color, I know that." He muttered under his breath as they walked off to Edward's car.

They went home all disappointed. The girls won a point today. They're on the losing side of the rope, but they have made a plan.

Jasper would fill Alice's life with colors, different colors, until he got the right one. Surely, that way, they can't lose. They wouldn't lose.

As the Cullen family sat that night around the huge dining table for dinner, Emmett was using all of his sanity trying to figure out the girls' plans.

"So, how's your day?" Their Dad, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, asked as he smiled at his children.

"Why do you always ask, Dad?" Emmett teased his father. He always knew the answer.

"I want us to get to know each other deeper."

"Well then," he wiggled his eyebrows. "Alice?"

"Yeah?" Alice stopped chewing on her food to look at her smiling brother.

Emmett grinned mischievously at her. "What's your favorite color?"

She gave him a deadly stare before finishing off her dinner.

Yay! So what do you think? Please review…Give me some reasons why I should continue. I'm trying really hard, but I still can't move on from She is the Sunlight. I loved writing it very much and it's just so...different, now that it's over. Thank you for coping with me. I'll be writing a sequel to She is the Sunlight soon. :) And I'm really happy today! Caitie Uhlmann (an actress, Ashley Greene's best friend) started following me on Twitter. I could just die. :D
