~Sherwin~

Jonathan looked at Sherwin. His nose was bleeding. "I'm so sorry!", Exclaimed Jonathan, feeling awful for what he had done. Sherwin looked up at Jonathan while Blood was rushing down his face. Jonathan picked up Sherwin and carried him to the bathroom in his arms. Sherwin was covering his bloodied nose, while being carried. Jon entered the men's washroom and sat Sherwin onto the counter. He grabbed Tissue and helped clean Sherwin up. "I'm so sorry this happened.... I would never hurt you on purpose... Ever!". "It's.... It's... Okay!", Said Sherwin Holding the Tissue at his nose. After a Few Minutes, His nose finally stopped Bleeding. The Two walked out of the bathroom. Jonathan Sat by Sherwin down at a bench. We walked up to Matt. "Oh Look The Gay kid!", Matt laughed. "And?.... I don't see a problem with being Gay!". Matt Stopped laughing. "It's so wrong!-". "Well that's your opinion....I Love Sherwin and if you have a problem with that, then you can take your small minded self outta here!". Jonathan started walking away. "Oh and.... we're not friends anymore!". He continued. Matt was left shocked and angry. Jon went up to Sherwin. "Come on... Let's get to Class!".
