meeting the family for christmas was a big deal … for real relationships . not exactly for invitations born out of the necessity of getting his family off his back for at least one night . it wasn’t his brightest idea , he was aware of that much , but in his defense … he didn’t think margo would take him on it , mostly talking out of his ass when he thought letting his family think he was seeing someone was better than having them grilling him over his lack of love life again . he listened to the petite brunette , his brows furrowing in confusion for only a second before the joke sunk in , his lips curling into a faint smile as he rolled his eyes at her . “ can’t make any promises m , i’m only but a man . ” he humored her , his matter-of-fact tone making it obvious . “ i’d say it back if it wasn’t because you can’t even reach . ” the italian grinned ever so slightly , “ anything else i should keep in mind ? ” he asked .
𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 along with romeo’s silly little plan because she was a good friend or because she was bored and thought this was a funny way to spend the holidays ? jury’s still out . regardless of her reasoning , they were here and she wasn’t about to back out now . “just try your best , no one can blame you if you fail . i mean look at me ,” she waved a hand over her petite person , “i am quite irresistible .” she’d continue to mess with him for her own amusement . his short joke , however , had her chuckling humorlessly . “we get it , you’re a giant .” she moved her finger to tap against her chin as if she was deep in thought . “hmmm no i think we’re good . unless there’s anything i need to know about your family . what’s your mom like ? do you think she’ll like me ? do i have to pretend to know things about sports around your dad ?” she took her acting gigs very seriously , after all . she needed all the source material she could get .
"𝐢 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 set some ground rules ,” margo stated , pulling romeo to the side and away from other prying eyes . a well-manicured finger pointed at his chest and a stern look etched its way across her face , though a small smirk threatened to break her faux-serious disposition . “number one , i wear the pants in this pretend relationship . this is not up for debate . number two , we have to follow the classic rules of improv : ‘say yes ! and’ . number three , you have to resist the urge to make-out with me every time you look at me . because , y’know , we’re so in love and what not ,” she threw in the last one just to mess with him a little . an attempt to bring some light to the ridiculous situation .
“mon cherie,” camila couldnt help but giggle as she spoke, smiled infecting her entire face. “what d’you think my publicist would think about us rolling around together when we arent on clock?” her honey eyes met margo’s own set as she looked down from her spot straddling the girl underneath her only bending to plant a gentle kiss along margo’s collarbone. it wasnt as though the girls needed to hide their ‘relationship’, but it would call for nasty headlines talking about how they were only faking to get their upcoming song more plays or whatever bullshit tmz would spew. her fingers trailed along skin as she still had a soft smile across her lips, “kinda hot, though…this being sneaky shit.” mila had to admit that there was some sort of thrill of no one knowing this one aspect of her life unlike every other tiny detail.
𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 thighs as margo smiles up at mila . her touch is gentle as she traces random shapes onto the other’s skin with the pads of her fingers . “your publicist may or may not have a heart attack , poor thing .” it was dumb , really . the fact that in public they had to stick to strictly platonic interactions or else they risk being berated by their respective management teams + tabloids , and inevitably skeptical fans . margo was normally one for a little rebellion and would’ve shown camila off wherever she wanted just for the hell of it . but there was something about sneaking around that made things exciting . plus , if they had a falling out in the romantic aspect of their relationship-- it wouldn’t have to be public knowledge . “i’ll admit , sneaking around is pretty sexy . and i like having you all to myself like this ,” she grins as one hand travels up the other’s back before reaching the back of her head and gently pulling her down for a kiss .
karina’s mind was wandering to other places as she found herself surrounded by a few familiar faces , but mostly strangers , in what felt like the smallest penthouse she’d ever stepped foot in just because of the ridiculous amount of people in here right now . the friend who dragged her here is nowhere to be found & the alcohol flowing through her veins is just making her more & more tired as the moments pass , she knows exactly what she needs to refresh her , her gaze not faltering from the kitchen island where she spotted the group of people doing lines of coke . which happened to be karina’s drug of choice , and her biggest vice . it was a struggle , because if she got caught again with drugs in her system during any time she was competing , her career would be over . it was a one strike system in wrestling , & even after months , she was still fighting to regain her reputation . but her eyes easily tear away from the group as she quickly recognizes margo from across the room , causing her heart to almost immediately drop into her stomach . the last time she’d seen the other girl had been less than pleasant , in fact , it’d broke karina’s heart . without considering her actions for longer than five minutes , karina lifts herself up off the couch & shuffles through bodies directly towards where margo is standing . “ margo , hey … ” she moves her hand to touch the other girl’s shoulder in attempt to get her attention , hand wandering down to the other girl’s forearm . “ can i talk to you … in private ? ” she asks , before leading her into the bathroom .
𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐫 so , margo was finally beginning to feel comfortable and loose . the penthouse was packed , overwhelming the young woman when she first arrived . she had only accepted the invitation to be polite to an old friend . having found herself back in new york after a little over a year away , she was trying to rekindle friendships and reconfigure her social circle . what she wasn’t expecting , however , was to be approached by an old flame . having been able to recognize karina’s smooth voice even after all this time , her once lax shoulders tensed under her warm touch nearly sobering up completely . “oh ... hey ,” her flushed face held an expression of shock upon locking eyes with her ex for the first time since , well ... since margo left her with tears in her eyes and a hollow feeling in her chest where her heart ( which once belonged entirely to the other ) should’ve been . nevertheless , she found herself nodding along in a daze . limbs moving on autopilot before the ex couple found themselves alone in the bathroom . margo gulped , eyeing the ground before tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear and looking up at karina cautiously . “i , uh , wasn’t expecting to see you here ,” she chuckled humorlessly . “what did you ... wanna talk about ?”
christian loubotin bianca booties with red - bottoms and heels way too high for just a casual stroll clicked on the pavement. but scout had been lacking paparazzi content anyway, so here she was, out on the town. she slid her oversized black shades down her nose, doing a double take at the familiar woman she’d just walked by, “ well, well, well, as i live and breathe, ” she called before turning around, “ if it isn’t my favorite super famous, super hot, dropout of an ex - roomie. ”
𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐬 she strutted down the new york pavement with a practiced ease the only thing that managed to steal her attention away from the phone in her hand was the sound of a familiar voice calling out to her . spinning on her heel , margo immediately broke out into a grin . “if it isn’t the baddest bitch i’ve ever had the pleasure of rooming with !” she laughed , both surprised and thrilled to have coincidentally bumped into her old college roommate . “hey , we both know that columbia couldn’t handle the two of us together . i took one for the team by dropping out . you’re welcome ,” she joked with ease .
chicago’s very own margo rosas has been spotted on madison avenue , with a striking semblance to camila mendes ! you may know them as @margo or hitting the front page of tmz as margo rosas is making her comeback on broadway ! according to tmz , you just had your twenty-third birthday bash . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re overdramatic , but being passionate might help you . things that would paint a better picture of you would be the sound of stilettos hitting the pavement , the thunderous sound of applause , and having the poise of a well-mannered lady but the mouth of a sailor . ( cis female + she / her )

*TW: undiagnosed illness, death
grew up as an only child in chicago, illinois. her family was definitely in the middle class but her parents both worked hard to provide their pride and joy with everything she could’ve wanted out of life
and it became apparent early on that what margo wanted was to perform. she was always singing around the house, putting on one-woman shows for her parents, and following along to the choreography of her favorite DCOM on tv. and in order to keep her satisfied, and also out of the house while they were both working, her parents threw her into an abundance of performing arts classes: ballet, tap, and jazz classes + singing lessons + acting workshops-- you name it. it was a very expensive hobby but her parents were willing to put in the extra work hours to fund her passions
she honestly grew up blissfully unaware of the sacrifices her parents were making on her behalf. they just never made her feel like she was inconveniencing them in any way. if she wanted to spend her day turn acting, singing, and dancing then so be it. they supported her emotionally and financially 100%
*ILLNESS TW* but the rose-tinted glasses were ripped from her eyes around the age of fourteen / fifteen. her mom had always had a weak immune system-- the first one to catch a cold or the flu, knocking her on her ass and leaving her bedridden for days at a time. it only got worse as years went on and she avoided doctor appointments out of fear of being charged unnecessary costly fees. she downplayed her compromising situation for as long as she could until she physically couldn’t carry on any more and had to stop going to work
margo and her father urged the stubborn woman to seek medical attention for any sort of relief for months until she finally conceded. soon it became the new norm for her mother to be in and out of hospitals, getting tests done, trying various medications. but nothing helped in the long-term and they were unable to come to a strict diagnosis *ILLNESS TW END*
and she had been right, it was terribly expensive. their funds were short considering the family was down to one income. so margo took on more responsibilities by working part-time jobs as well as going to school. she was sixteen and teaching dance lessons at her childhood studio in exchange for a small amount of pay + free lessons as well as working at a local movie theatre 6 days a week. she cut back on extracurricular lessons to save some money, instead pouring all her creative energy into only school related clubs such as choir, theatre, and so on
honestly, if you knew margo in high school you’d likely not even know about her familial situation. she liked to keep her cards close to her chest and portrayed herself as this larger than life character that no one would believe had experienced any hardships. she distracted from her own worries by playing the role of ‘queen bee’ or more accurately rachael berry from glee ( a cursed character at this point but it’s true unfortunately )
margo had big dreams of making it to broadway one day and had planned to get there by going to college in new york and make a name for herself. but with her mother’s healthy declining the closer margo got to graduation, the more put off she was by the idea of moving away from home. she was willing to put all plans for her future on hold and take care of her mother but her parents wouldn’t let her. being as encouraging as ever, they convinced her that she needed to follow her dreams. she had already given up a majority of her teenage years to help them out when they needed it most. they wouldn’t let her miss out on anything else
so with a heavy heart but on a good scholarship, she left for columbia university without any idea of what to expect. new york was a whole new world for her and she was thrown off by how talented, beautiful, and wealthy her peers were. she had felt like a big fish in a really small pond during her high school days. but for once she was a tiny fish in the big wide ocean
her larger than life persona came back into play-- masking her worries and insecurities with a version of herself that was so confident that she even began to fool herself. she got a bit lost in the fantasy. her true self-slipping away. she almost had this alter ego ??? ( come thru hannah montana moment okay ) wannabe starlet rubbing elbows with the future CEOs and celebrities of the world by day and local pizza parlor waitress by the night, working to make a decent living while also sending money back home when she could
she also had to maintain good grades to keep her scholarship and participate in performances that her department put on in order to rise in the ranks
honestly the only time she got a little peace was when she was hanging out with her few GOOD friends. like the people that actually got to know her past her fake personality. they were also music people so they spent a lot of time together just messing around with instruments and vocals and writing songs in their own little makeshift studio / hangout spot
it started off as just fun and games, but with their help margo created some original songs and released them as an indie artist. she put herself out there on her social media profiles like “hey stream my new single!!!!!!” and people ate it up. after releasing a few tracks and establishing her own following, her music eventually got to the right people and she was given the opportunity to sign to an actual label which was wild ???
and while it was an amazing opportunity, releasing music under the label was also very demanding. when she was releasing music from the comfort of her friend’s studio it was purely a fun creative outlet and done on her own time. it was just... rough. but how could she complain when she was making a name for herself in the music industry + making bank from royalties + getting to meet all these cool famous people and go to parties with them and y’know ... spiral and slack off on other responsibilities
*DEATH TW* it was around her junior year that things started to go from bad to worse. she remembers exactly where she was and what she was doing when she got the call from her dad informing her of her mom’s extended stay in the hospital. things weren’t looking too good. there wasn’t anything they could do for the older lady and honestly she was done fighting. margo flew back home to chicago immediately and stayed at her childhood home for the following weeks until her mother passed. it was absolutely devastating. she stayed in chicago with her dad for months as they worked through their grief together *DEATH TW END*
columbia was pretty understanding of her situation and was willing to be accommodating so she could finish her degree plan, but margo put things off for so long that she eventually just withdrew from the university and was dead set on just living in chicago forever
i’m not gonna lie, margo was down and out for a little while. didn’t talk to anyone really, rarely left the house, stopped making music, and just sorta fell off completely. the only good thing that came out of the year or so that she spent back home was she stepped away from the false reality she created for herself in new york, which helped her realize that she didn’t love the person she was becoming or the things she was doing. she wasn’t even really involved with her one true passion which was theatre / acting
it was with a little boost from her dad ( literally her biggest fan , i love this man okay ) that she started acting like herself again. he told her that her mom wouldn’t want her to give up on everything and neither would he. so with a new found determination ( and a pretty exciting career opportunity ), margo put on her big girl pants and moved her ass back to new york to finally do what she loves to do
and here we are now ! she’s stepping into her break-out role onto broadway as lydia deetz in bettlejuice the musical
she’s only been back in new york for a few months at this point i’d say ??? and i can’t wait to see her come into her own and grow into the margo i know and love ... but also hate because she’s so so dumb :-) <3
*+:｡.｡ 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 & 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒｡.｡:+*
she has no chill, probably will never have any chill, and i am sorry for that ASJNDLK she’s just overdramatic as hell !!! she’s a theatre kid at heart and i would expect absolutely nothing less from her
generally good-natured though and has good intentions. just simply has piss-poor execution sometimes
down to clown and ready to have a good time all the time all in the name of enjoying life to its fullest while we all have a chance
the only thing she takes seriously is her work life. she’s on her grind okay, it took a lot for her to get to where she is today and she’s not going to just let it slip away that easily. she’s doing everything she can to make not only herself proud but her parents :’-)
still releases her own music under the label but her primarily focus is on her budding broadway career and the label is understanding of that ... mostly because she called an executive meeting ( against her manager’s better judgement ) and was super up front and threatened to walk out if they didn’t see reason ... but at least things worked out well !!!
she mostly writes songs for other people at this point in her career. some big names too ( just like ... google julia michael’s career and apply it to margo okay thank u )
honestly her management teams worst nightmare simply because she does not listen and will do whatever she wants and post whatever she wants and will not apologize for being her authentic self in media
like, she’s just starting to figure out who she is again and they want her to stop and act fake because she’s not being very “family-friendly” or because it doesn’t make her “look good to the public” ??? nah f*ck that !
while she is sociable and fun-loving, she’s also hard to seriously get to know sometimes because of all those years of putting up a front. like sometimes she doesn’t even realize that she’s not being 100% genuine ??? so you could be hanging out with her every single day and still not know her completely and she might not open up and that’s okay, she’s working on it
she is a pretty good friend tho ! super loyal, a true ride or die, will want to fight anyone that you have a problem with, showers you in compliments and gifts, truly 10 / 10
but if she doesn’t like you or if you’ve mistreated her in any way at all she will in fact hold it against you for the rest of her life. just petty as a mf and i hate her for it like sis pls leT SH*T GO !!!!
didn’t grow up rich so now that she’s making bank she’s one of those people that just buys dumb things just because she can ??? the size of her closet is absolutely ridiculous, just overflowing with clothes and accessories, and the amount of random packages that get delivered to her apartment that she doesn’t even remember ordering is even more so ... just ... irresponsible spender
stubborn ?? what is compromising ??? doesn’t know her but will try ( begrudgingly ) if she really likes you
hates being bored. can and will go to excessive lengths to avoid boredom
partygirl margo has not stopped, will not stop, and cannot be stopped much to my own disappointment
self-proclaimed dancing queen. really puts all those years of classical dance training to good use by hopping on top of tables / countertops at parties to shake some ass
surprisingly a responsible adult that can cook and clean and get shit done when she really puts her mind to it ??? this developed over the years that her mom was sick and bedridden and she stepped up to take care of household chores while her dad worked doubles
very family-oriented and talks to her dad all the time. like, calls him daily for really dumb reasons. any time she feels down the first person she wants to talk to is him ( well it’s actually her mom, who was her best friend in the whole world, but since she’s not here anymore they make do as just the two of them )
her ego is LARGE. GRANDE. thinks very highly of herself as a result of being praised too much as a child probably. not to mention she is very very good at what she does, has more talent in her little pinky then i do in my whole body. she’s secretly insecure on the inside but she presents as an overconfident bad bitch
a staple to her character that i wish she would shake is her inability to handle her own feelings in a healthy way ... she just sorta ... shuts down ?? runs away ?? acts like nothing is happening ?? it’s bad. would rather leave than get left and bottle up all her feelings and kick them under the bed then ever open up
has a terrible sleeping pattern and cannot stay on a solid sleep schedule to save her life. undiagnosed insomniac. when her mind just won’t calm down she often goes out to keep her occupied and avoid any overthinking that might occur when she’s in her own company
her life motto is #YOLO and does a lot of stupid sh*t because of it
probably uses tiktok too much both as a consumer and a content creator. vlogs her backstage experiences and also just posts dumb, amusing things
this is so long i’m sorry if you read this whole thing i just have a lot of feelings about her after writing her for so many years AKJSDK i’ll shut up now BYE
i have margo’s wc page HERE but just some ideas are best friends, frenemies, confidants, fellow music people, party friends, pr friends or pr rivals, crushes, on and off again, exes, roommate, childhood friends, family friends, good influence, bad influence, honestly truly anything and everything PLS i love to plot and write w/ all of you ! <3
