Parker Jacobs

Parker Jacobs; The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone.

  Took us some time to get it off the wall, but no one’s dead, so all is good. I think we must be, like secretly I’m Izzy Jacobs or you’re Parker Perkins. Same here, all I’ve wanted is IHOP pancakes all week. How sad is it that I’m actually excited for pancakes?

[parker--jacobs]

The only thing that died were the photos of your aunt's ex. Or, it might hyphenated and we could have a crazy last name like Jacobs-Perkins or Perkins-Jacobs. It's not sad at all because I'm the exact same. I get excited over pancakes way too often.

It was, until the fumes got too much and we had to put out our little fire with the extinguisher. There is no convincing me that we’re not secretly twins, Park, we have exactly the same mindset and that is why I love you - IHOP it is.

[parker--jacobs]

Fire fumes seem like a really bad thing to breathe in, so it's a good thing you had the extinguisher ready to go. Maybe we are long lost twins, separated at birth and destined by fate to find each other once again. I'm so ready for these pancakes, I've been craving IHOP for days.

  I’m going there. Leaving tonight actually.

[parker--jacobs]

That sounds like one crazy, big adventure.

Staying with my aunt has the power to both put me off being a grown up and also want to live with her for the rest of my life, weird. Still, after spending the night burning photos of her ex it is definitely time for IHOP - I’ll pay?

[parker--jacobs]

Burning photos of her ex? That sounds pretty damn eventful. It is always the time for IHOP and conveniently I'm also always in the mood for IHOP.

What language do they even speak in Bangkok? I can’t believe this is really happening.

[parker--jacobs]

Probably like Chinese or something, why?

@burritoqueen: feeling a little ill and a little like a make-up model #easyqueasybeautifulcovergirl

I love the face I get from students when they see me outside of school. Contrary to popular belief, I do indeed have a life outside the classroom.

[parker--jacobs]

Wait, teachers have lives that don't revolve around yelling at students and grading work? This is shocking information. 

[summer--gray]

I’m twenty seven and my parents still call me once a day to check up on me. They’re so cute sometimes!

[parker--jacobs]

Probably making sure you're not doing anything too crazy while you're away from them.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

  Of course. When I was looking for someone to take care of Thai it took me an entire month to find someone I trusted, so you have time - you just can’t do it all on your own.

[parker--jacobs]

So if I get someone you won't report it?

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

  Then let me help you find someone.

[parker--jacobs]

Alright...but I need to approve of them first. Make sure I'm alright with them taking care of Gracie.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

  I understand that; but you’re too young to look after a child on your own, and if you refuse to get someone who can help you with this I’ll be obligated to report it. 

[parker--jacobs]

Miss Martin, please don't. I'm eighteen, I'm not that young. I can handle it. Just please, please, don't report it.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

  Not even a childminder? My own son goes to one when he isn’t at kindergarten, they’re very reliable.

[parker--jacobs]

Not even a childminder. To be honest, Miss Martin, she's all I have left.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

Parker, you do realise that isn’t right, don’t you?

[parker--jacobs]

There's no one else I'd trust to take care of her. 

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

So a teenage boy with his studies to concentrate on also has the burden of looking after a young girl on his own?

[parker--jacobs]

Uh, yes?

[parker--jacobs]

The school rules kinda suck. Um, yeah, my little sister is ill, I had to make sure she got her medicine.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

That may be, but just because they “kinda suck” it doesn’t mean you get to disregard them. Right. Is there not a parent at home that can do that for you?

[parker--jacobs]

Just because I have to follow them doesn't mean they don't suck. Um, no, there is no parent to do it for me.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

  School rules. Unless, of course, you have a good reason for being late? Something far more important than your education.

[parker--jacobs]

The school rules kinda suck. Um, yeah, my little sister is ill, I had to make sure she got her medicine.

[sebastian-gonzales-deactivated2]

Late on the first day of the week? Smart move. That’ll be a detention, see me in my classroom at the end of the day.

[parker--jacobs]

Wait, what? That's a little unfair.
