Sherwin barged in the science lab with tears threatening his eyes. He wiped them away and immediately take off the cloth that was covering the cage, revealing a sad-looking heart, floating dully. It looked up and saw rhe same expression.
"Guess you can feel my pain." Sherwin sniffed, sitting beside the heart.
"Hm." It replied with a sad tone.
Sherwin couldn't help but to feel like the most depressed guy in the whole school, crying over a guy who doesn't deserve someone like Sherwin himself. The feeling hurts. Someone perfect and beautiful, Jonathan should be happy with someone else since Sherwin think's he's no good for Jon. All he give him was just a worse attention, gossips, rumours and being affect by his own pain.
"This sucks." Sherwin faked laughed, wiping another tear, the heart just stayed quiet, looking down with a frown.
Before he could do anything, he jolted in shock when he saw the door, revealing a girl and two guys who seems to be from the "popular" students.
"Oh great." The girl rolled her eyes, seeing Sherwin's situation. "The fags crying here." She added.
Sherwin blushed in humiliation and quickly wipe his tears away before looking away.
"Wha-What do you want?" Sherwin murmured, scared and hopeless filling his chest.
"Heh, we're just here to chill but we never know a fag like you would be here." The guy with black hair growled.
"Ugh, can't you just like a normal girl, man?" Another guy with a jersey scowled.
Sherwin looked down and face the little heart that was on his cage. It seems to be in the same feeling that Sherwin was. The girl smirked and gestured the two boys to Sherwin as they both nodded.
"Hey --- !" Sherwin cried, being pulled away by two guys away from the cage where the little heart was. Sherwin struggled, trying to escape their grip but sadly he's too weak. The girl casually walked to the caged heart and lift it up.
"What is this?" She snarled, the heart started to beat rapidly loud.
The ginger's widen and struggled more, trying to save his heart. "N-No! Don't to-touch him!" He yelled.
The girl just ignored him and continued staring at it before shaking it, causing the heart to let out a yelp and hypervintilate at her. "Jeez, what a weird thing. Is this some kind of a toy? Didn't know your childish enough to play with baby toys, Shirbet." The girl snickered.
"I-Its Sherwin! And le-let go of tha-that cage! Please!" He begged.
"Hmm," The girl squinted her eyes at it then slowly reach out to open the cage, before she could grab the heart, it immediately fly out of the cage, scared to be with the girl. "What the --- !?" She yelped, dropping the cage.
"CLANK!"
"No! No! No!" Sherwin shook his head rapidly as his eyes watches the heart flying out of the window.
The event made the two guys off-guard which gives the ginger an opportunity to finally escape and run straight of the lab.

Jonathan let out another sigh once he walked out of the school doors. This day, he's been sighing more often. The sun seems to be shining in a great way, making the weather perfect for the day. Sadly he didn't really have a great day.
He slowly walk around the campus, admiring the nature and the breezy winds. Its a good thing he brought his little book with him. Spotting a tree, he sat under the shade before flipping it open.
Minutes passed by and he felt no mood to read after all. He was sure this is his favorite but thinking about Sherwin made him really distracted.
Again, he sighed.
He tried searching for Sherwin but he couldn't find the adorable ginger around the school. He guess Sherwin just needed some time.
"Am I hearing something?" Jonathan muttered, starting to hear a little weeping sounds.
The source of the voice seems to be a bit nearer around him. He slowly stood up, looking around while paying close attention to where was the sound coming from. It seems that it's coming from the bushes. Following his instincts, he kneel down and adjusted the bushes to see a cute little heart crying.
"Woah." Jonathan muttered.
The heart seems to notice his presence as it let out a childish cry before charging Jonathan a hug and continued crying at his shoulder.
"H-Hey --- wait a second," He eyed at the heart. "Aren't you that heart who's with Sherwin the other day?" He asked.
But it didn't responded. It just continued crying it's tear out on his shoulder.
"U-Uh, don't cry, little buddy." Jonathan patted the little heart then brought it near his face before giving a peck to it.
It seems that it worked as it stopped crying and started to glow red. Then it made a big smile and charge at Jonathan with a hug.
"Hehe, there you go." Jonathan smiled.
"Jo-Jonathan?" Then a familiar voice called him from behind. He turned over to his shoulder, seeing Sherwin with his face all red. Jonathan almost blush as well before brushing it off and gives him a big smile.
"Sherwin!" He immediately give him a hug, Sherwin could feel himself melting at the sudden contact of his arms around him. "I'm glad I found you." He chuckled then looked at the heart. "I uhhh think this is yours."
Sherwin blinked twice.
"Yo-Your not weirded o-out by me?" Sherwin asked, gently holding the heart right beside his chest.
"Heh, why would I be weirded out by you? Having a floating heart seems cool." Jonathan chuckled.
"Oh." This made the ginger blush even more.
"Does it have a name?" Jonathan asked, curiously.
"Huh?" Sherwin was dumbfounded. "O-Oh! Uhhh, I-I'm sti-still trying to fi-figure it out." Sherwin rub his arm timidly.
"Nice, we could name it together." Jonathan grinned.
"Re-Really?" Sherwin smiled shyly, the heart jumped with joy.
"Yeah, hmmm, how about . . . Sherwin Jr.?" He smirked in a joking way.
"Mmmmhhhh?" The heart thought for a while then shook it's head. "Nu-uh."
"U-Uh, Harley?" Sherwin asked.
"Bleh!" The heart cringed at him.
Then Jonathan thought for a while before snapping his fingers, an idea popped in his head.
"How about Shirley?" Jonathan asked.
"Shirley?" The heart tilt it's head.
"Y-Yeah, how about it?" Sherwin smiled
"Yeah!" The heart now named as Shirley smiled widely, jumping with joy.
"Shirley it is!" Jonathan chuckled at Shirley.
Sherwin smiled at the two genuinely. "Yeah." He looked at Jonathan in a loving way. "Shirley it is." He muttered.
