Once the pair that was lagging behind caught up to the group, Rachel began firing out commands for the rest of the group after discovering the phone was in working condition. Parker rolled her eyes the second the girl opened her mouth, as she didn't enjoy being ordered around, nor did she like the vibe of superiority that the diver gave off. The blonde knew it wouldn't be probable that they could contact the outside world, based on many factors that all stemmed from them being stranded on an island. They had no idea where they were, and had no way of telling what time zone they were in, to know which place would be best to call. It was too much of a risk, and Parker didn't want everyone to get their hopes up if they couldn't figure out how to get a hold of someone.
Rachel droned on much to parkers detest," If we're gonna do this, we've gotta be strategic because we've gone one bar and not much battery life left,"
Parker though they were wasting the battery life and time and said: "Listen, we don't know where we are first of all. How do we even know whoever we call will be awake if its nighttime where they are," Most of the girls nodded their heads, but Rachel approached the musician with a look of fire in her eyes.
"Ok Ms. Debbie Downer listen, I am getting off of this island. If you don't want to that's fine by me, Ive got a life outside of this island and its clear that some of us don't," Rachel muttered cooly, which made Parker's expression lower. Fatin stepped towards her and was fully prepared to attack the girl who she had begun to take a keen liking to. Parker placed her arm in front of the cellists torso as a warning gesture. The last thing they needed was an ugly catfight on the first day of many in the middle of the wilderness.
Leah however took a less risky approach to defending the blonde and he bright mind, "She's right we also don't know what were closer to to know what country to call," She smiled in parkers direction as they made firm eye contact, Parker sent a nod of appreciation back her way.
"Ok, whatever look we only have to get in contact with one person so think hard. Make sure you know their number, and they love you enough to be waiting by the phone right now. Okay?" Rachel ordered the group. Parker honestly didn't know who she would call; she didn't memorize many numbers, as she had an iPhone and didn't socialize with many people. Her face fell towards the ground as the others discussed who they were going to call. Leah noticed this shift in her mood and reached for the girl's hand and squeezed it before letting go, because the other girls were too preoccupied to notice the pair standing a little closer than the others.
However Leah started to disassociate the second people started dialing numbers, and people started not freaking out because nobody was answering. Marty and Toni were having a heated discussion, the twins were arguing about who Nora called, and Shelby was yelling at Dot who accused her boyfriend of cheating on her, while Leah stared mindlessly at the crab that was crossing the sand by her feet. Parker immediately noticed when Fatin walked infant of Jeanette who appeared to be on the verge of collapsing. The girl swiftly made her way over to the girl from san fransico's side.
