I put pen to paper and think hard about how to insult him. Well maybe I should read what he's written about me first. I unfold the paper. Seriously? Out of about fifteen sentences, at least eight of them have red dashes next to them. First one: Don't stare at me when I'm staring at you, I'm concentrating. Two: If you ever want to dance, then do it upstairs, you make too much noise. What the fu**? Okay, let's move onto the oranges. Bad things about you: sort out when you can. Number one: You should hug me more. Okay...Number Two: You should talk to me about how you feel.

Number Three: When you're eating, don't look at me as if I've been starving you. Okay, onto the greens. Good things about you. Number One: I like the rare times when you smile. Number Two: You're polite at times......congratulations. What the hell??? Should I tell him thank you? Okay. Time to write mine. To Dad/Jasper Key: RED, SORT THESE OUT!! ORANGE: THAT'S OKAY. GREEN: You're good. Reds. One: You need to socialise more. Two: Stop shifting away from me when I try to hold you. Three: When I'm in the room, you look as if you want to run away and hide. Why?

ORANGES. One: Please try to be nice to me more. Two: When I fall asleep on you, keep me there until morning. Fathers would give up sleep to look at their child. (believe it or not) GREENS. One: I love your curly hair. Two: I think you and Alice make a cute couple. Three: I like your car. Okay, I think I'm done. I fold up my paper and run downstairs. "Jasper? I've got my paper!" I call downstairs. "Give it here." I turn to the direction of the voice. Jasper. "Hey, I've got a few reds alright?" I ask, smiling and hand over the paper.

He takes it without smiling and opens it. His eyes widen as they take in how messy the page is. "Hmm." He says finally. My eyes lock with his. "I need to socialise more?" He asks, quoting one of my reds for him. I nod, not wanting to talk to him anymore. "Oh, well I wasn't aware of that, Jared Whitlock." He replies and saunters off.
