BEING A CADDY WAS AN EASY JOB which is why he kept doing it, it almost didn’t feel like a job, plus he got along with most of the members. he had just finished helping a group and had a few minutes to kill before the next group. as he was making his way to the caddy station, he spotted esme. his relationship with esme was interesting, flattering in a way. “hey beautiful,” he greets her with a dashing smile, well aware of the game he’s playing with her. “how was your class today?” she was an instructor, right? yeah, that made sense.
WITHOUT KNOCKING THE DOOR, HE WALKS INTO SUNDAY’S ROOM. “i’ve got an idea,” he starts, a mischievous smile hinting that he was up to no good. “it’s been a while since we don’t mess with nick and i think that’s why he’s getting a bit snappy with us, so we must put an end to that,” he explains, rather dramatically as if nick was the problem and not them. “i have a list of ideas.” he pulls out a piece of paper in which he wrote a list of things he could do to torment their roommate. “okay número uno: we wrap his bed using plastic wrap. número dos: we do what i like to call ‘hot dog mistletoe’ meaning we hang hot dogs from his ceiling. and número tres: we change his shampoo bottle with shaving cream, a bit cliché but a classic.”
THIAGO CLEARLY DIDN’T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS but he liked to think that he actually knew a bit about music. it simply was one of the few things in life he truly enjoyed and was willing to learn more. that’s why whenever he found of a good event in the city, he would tell libby all about it. “hey, libbs!” he says as soon as his eyes set on her. “okay, so i found this festival for this weekend and i got two tickets, and of course, you were my #1 choice to be my guest.” he shows her the tickets, a childish smile playing on his lips. “what do you say? also don’t tell emir, he’ll be offended that i didn’t ask him.”
“What?” Emir asks, disbelief across his features as he hears his best friend talking. “That’s not why the oceans are polluted, Go.” If this was someone else he would think they were joking but coming from Thiago he knows that he is serious. “The ocean is polluted because we throw trash to it and not because the fish wash themselves in it. I mean, how would… that doesn’t even make sense, man.”
*
“I SAW IT ON A TV SHOW,” he counters back, shaking his head because how could he trust emir more than a tv show? they don’t just straight out broadcast lies on tv. “i saw an elephant or maybe it was rhino, i don’t know the difference, but i saw him bathing in the water. that’s why it’s so polluted.” he knows that emir has a hard time admitting he was wrong, so he wasn’t going to push this argument but deep down thiago was sure he was right.
OFTEN THIAGO FORGOT THAT HE WAS PAID TO DO A JOB and not just work whenever he felt like it. to him, his time at highlands could be divided between roaming around as if he was a member and giving 50% whenever he decided to work. after getting a pretty considerable tip from one of the members, he took a well deserved break and went to the training room. “lu!” he yells as if he owned the place, a beaming smile playing on his lips. “i got a big tip, so i’m taking you out for lunch,” he says regardless of the fact that she was working.
( henry zaga. twenty-four. he/him. ) i think i just saw THIAGO BORGES ride by on a golf cart . at least i think it was them . after all , SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL BY THE ROLLING STONES was blasting on the transistor radio . maybe they were on their way to work , i hear they’re a CADDY . but they totally could have been on their way to FLIRT WITH A COCKTAIL WAITRESS AT THE BAR . guess we’ll never know . you’ll definitely know its them when you see VODKA IN A WATER BOTTLE, WORN OUT CONVERSE SNEAKERS, HYPOCRITE SMILES around the country club . let’s just hope they stay off the green after hours or else the sprinklers will get them !

02. quick bio
born in belo horizonte, brazil; thiago lived a somewhat comfortable life. his father was a very good surgeon and his mother worked in marketing.
being an only child, it shouldn’t be a surprised that he was very spoiled and as he grew older his attitude showed the consequences of never denying him anything.
thiago never had a plan in mind. whenever people asked him about his future he would say that he “would worry about that later” but later never came.
by his senior year of high school, thiago was doing everything but worrying about post graduation. he was out there throwing parties, or going to parties, skipping important classes to go and have fun with people he had just met.
tw drugs & alcohol: for most of his adolescence, thiago was either drunk or stoned. his parents knew but they pretty much said “i pretend i do not see it” and did nothing to make something out of their kid.
by some miracle he managed to graduate (that miracle being his dad paying for his diploma pretty much).
just a few weeks after his graduation, his father was offered a position in a hospital in ohio and the family left brazil for cleveland.
thiago absolutely hateeeeed cleveland. he thought it was the most boring place on earth and he wondered why of all the cities in the country, his father had chosen this one?
because of the move, he didn’t have time to apply for a university in the us (not like he was planning attending university at all) so in order to teach his son a lesson, he made him find a job.
in a span of a year, thiago had 15 jobs because for one or another reason he kept getting fired. he was reckless, rude, irresponsible or arrived at work drunk or high.
sick of it, his father threatened him to cut him off if this behavior continued and pretty much forced him to apply to college.
to everyone’s surprised he was admitted into chapman university where he chose studying communication and journalism because it sounded “easy”
loyal to his old ways, thiago didn’t change and pretty much just pretended to attend classes and he even forged his grades to show his dad that he was reformed man
the whole ruse lasted for almost four years (two of which he hadn’t been enrolled in school and he spent the money his parents’ sent to him in parties, drugs and alcohol).
but graduation was upon him and there was no way he could keep lying and while he was planning an elaborated ploy to make his parents believe he had graduated, they stopped by to surprise him
however, they took the surprise to find out their son had been lying.
thiago and his dad got into a big fight and he cut him off. however, his mom still to this day sends him an allowance every month.
he moved to new york six months ago and got a part time job at highlands as a caddy four months ago. surprisingly, he’s been able to keep it.
03. headcanons
he’s an experienced golfer. used to go and golf with his dad every weekend which is why the job as a caddy seems to suit him perfectly.
thiago can play the piano and before he was training to become a classic pianist but that stopped when he turned 13 and now he only plays as a party trick.
probably has read 3 books in his life and he hates subtitles in movies
lives in a one bedroom apartment in brooklyn which is way too expensive for what it is
he once got arrested in ibiza
thiago is extremely afraid of cats. his grandmother had a cat when he was younger who scratched him and left a mark on the right side of his forehead. since then he’s terrified of cats.
04. personality
okay i suck at writing personalities so have this poor bullet list
not the smartest but hey at least he’s cute
very flirty like sometimes i wonder “boy, do you even have some general knowledge?” probably nope
simple-minded, like anything too deep and complex will just make his last two brain cells collapse.
has really good people skills which is why he gets very good tips.
allergic to plans. pretty much the human embodiment of yolo
doesn’t care about following the rules, nothing can come between him and his self-indulgence
it’s hard to really form a deep bond with him but if you get through the layers, he is a loyal friend.
