[name_f]Taryn[/name_f] [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [left] and [name_u]Brett[/name_u] [name_u]Connor[/name_u] [right] [name_u]Shay[/name_u] (29) are twins and both big parts of [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and Meredith’s lives. [name_f]Taryn[/name_f] [name_u]Shay[/name_u] is Meredith’s teacher and she’s proudly single and wants to stay that way. [name_u]Brett[/name_u] is currently engaged to a surfer chick who is also friends with [name_u]Skyler[/name_u]. [name_u]Brett[/name_u] is the soccer coach for Felicity’s team and has a friendly rivalry with one of the rival coaches but outside the game, they’re good buddies and love to joke among one another. They have this not-so-secret deal that whichever coach‘s team loses the game has to be punished in a funny way. They’ve kept it away from the kids for a long time to avoid them feeling bad when their coach gets punished but after a special game, they made the punishment public for the kids…the losing coach had to stick their head in the cake. Since then the punishments have been known to the kids and they’re actually super fun and actually make the losing team feel better, not worse. One of them involved the losing team’s coach having to dye their hair pink. Another made the losing coach wear pajamas to the next game. But the funnest punishments are the ones where the kids get involved. Brett’s team lost a game so the kids on both teams got to throw water balloons at him, and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] got some great shots! [name_u]Brett[/name_u] and the other coach don’t mind this now, they find it super hilarious and love how the kids get so excited now over who gets punished.
[name_f]Taryn[/name_f] is a cool teacher as well and often just lets her students play freely and not worry about how hard school can be. She makes it easy and just wants them to learn. She adores how well [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] is reading and progressing in her class and has made her classroom a zero-tolerance for bullying. It’s worked so well that nobody bullies anyone else and a lot of students have made friends with other students now. [name_f]Taryn[/name_f] just had a pizza and popsicle party after the students reached their goal of a collective 100 books read this month, even if most of the books were picture books and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] was the biggest contributor. Because [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] was the biggest contributor, [name_f]Taryn[/name_f] pinned a paper gold star on Meredith’s shirt that she proudly wore all day. The students are now more motivated to read and always have a blast. [name_f]Taryn[/name_f] and [name_u]Brett[/name_u] love their jobs and wouldn’t leave their jobs for anything.
