Emma Parker Is Played by Meg Bush on 'Taming My Bullies': All About the Character and the Actress Behind Her
Emma Parker enters Maple Elite Academy expecting a fresh start, but "Taming My Bullies" quickly proves her journey will be anything but ordinary — and actress Meg Bush brings every twist to life.
"Taming My Bullies" is one of ReelShort's most popular vertical dramas, largely because of the compelling journey of Emma Parker, a fencing champion accepted to Maple Elite Academy. She enters the school believing she will do just fine, confident in her skills and discipline.
What 'Taming My Bullies' is All About
However, Emma Parker quickly encounters bullies determined to make her school days far more difficult than expected. On her way to her first day at the academy, a wealthy guy flirts with her, only to splash dirty water on her and call it a "baptism." This boy is Rowan Calloway, leader of the Big Four, the most popular and influential guys on campus.
Among the Big Four, August Langford stands out as the gentle artist. He becomes the first genuinely kind person Emma Parker meets at the academy, consistently offering support and showing clear affection for her. It turns out, they have an unknown histoy that is later explored on the show.
The remaining two members of the Big Four include the school's charming playboy and the skilled weapon specialist, both loyal to Rowan.
Despite Emma's vow not to fall for a bully, she and Rowan find themselves repeatedly drawn to each other. But Rowan is far from her only problem. Emma is also harassed by VCA, or Vera, Chelsea, and Amy, who are the Big Four's biggest fangirls. They view every new girl as a threat, especially Emma after realizing she has caught Rowan's attention.
Still, Emma refuses to be intimidated. Her determination to confront Rowan keeps her spirit strong as she navigates life at the academy. Throughout the episodes, it becomes clear that Emma knows Rowan rules the school, but she will not let him rule her.
Soon after, Emma is surprised to discover that Rowan has a soft spot for cats. He even greets her warmly whenever they are alone. His cheerful expression makes her question whether she misjudged him, realizing that he may not behave like a bully all the time.
