"Come on! Just come with me to this wedding!" May pleaded. "No," I responded. "Please Em! My other friends are busy and you need to get out more! The way I see it, it's a win-win."

I could already see where I'd end up. Stranded in the middle of the party, with no one to talk to. "I already told you no. Every time I come with you to a club or party, you always ditch me for some stud you meet," I said.

"What?! That's not true!" she said sarcastically. I looked at her with doubtful eyes. She sighed, "Me leaving you isn't ALL bad. Who knows, maybe you could meet the man or woman of your dreams there!"

She wasn't going to stop asking until I said yes, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go with her. Half of the time it's just some big trick to get me a boyfriend.

She also thinks I'm bisexual, so she keeps pushing the idea of a girlfriend. I can see why she'd think that, but honestly, even if I were, I'm not looking for anyone right now. "The answer is still no." She sighed deeply and said, "Emiri Maki, you're coming with me to this wedding wether you like it or not."

I hate it when she uses my full name. That just means she's being serious.

"How does one get a squirrel out of their apartment?" I said to May on the phone.
"A squirrel? How did a squirrel get into your apartment? Did you leave the balcony open again? Wait- Don't you live on like the 40 something floor? How did a squirrel get all the way up there?" May was the chatty type, and very curious. Which in my opinion, don't mix well, but she was fun to be around because of it. "Questions aren't helping right now May," I said. "Right, right. Sorry, where is the squirrel right now?" she asked. "On my balcony."
Don't get me wrong, I love animals. However, unwanted animals in your apartment at 6pm, aren't exactly the best kind. "Then just close the balcony door!" May said. "I can't."
"What do you mean you can't? Just close the door," May said, obviously confused. "I mean he's right in front of the balcony door. If I close it, it'll hit him," I explained. "Then just shoo him off with a broom or something!"
"But I don't want to hurt him," I whined.
"You're so soft when it comes to animals," she said with a sigh, "then just walk towards it, maybe it'll get scared and run towards the balcony."
I did what she said and surprisingly, the squirrel ran back to the railing... and then he fell off the edge.

     I don't know what it is, but every time I see a person or animal in trouble, I want to help them. So without thinking, I jumped off the balcony. I live in a pretty big apartment complex, meaning it's very tall. And I happen to live on the 44th floor. I could see the squirrel squirming in the air while falling. "If this squirrel dies, I'll never forgive myself," I thought. I dove down and tried to scoop it into my arms but I couldn't seem to get a hold of it, and we were getting close the ground. I eventually managed to scoop the squirrel into my arms. I opened my wings and landed on the sidewalk, then I walked to a tree and let the squirrel climb on. I feel bad for traumatizing it, but at least it's safe.

     I looked up to see a small crowd of people murmuring to each other while staring at me.
"Did you see? She just saved a squirrel!" I heard someone say. I was going to walk away when suddenly I felt a small pair of arms wrap around my leg. I looked down to see a small girl looking up at me with a big smile. I recognized her smile. "You're the lady that saved me from the big fire at my house!" she shouted. "I never got to thank you," she said sounding a little sad. I also seem to have a soft spot for kids. "That's okay, there's no need to thank me." I said, squatting down to her level. I didn't realize my wings were still out until she pointed at them in amazement. "You look just like an angel!" she exclaimed. I smiled softly, "I get that a lot."
"Hana! I told you not to run off like that!" a woman said, pushing through the crowd of people. She stopped and stared at me and the little girl. It was like she was frozen. "You're that hero that saved my baby," she finally said, tears forming in her eyes. I stood up as she ran up to me and hugged me. She was hugging me so tight, I felt my back crack a little. She thanked me repeatedly while sobbing. I just stood there with a small smile on my face, letting her say as many thank you's as she wanted. The woman finally stopped crying after a good 4 minutes and started wiping her tears away. "There's really no need to thank me, saving people is what I do," I said. She just smiled at me and then picked up the little girl. "What's your name?" I asked the little girl. "Hana," she replied. "Well Hana, be safe for me and your mom alright," I said. "Okay!" she said with another big smile on her face.
