POINT OF VIEW

Sharpay walked out of the hotel room. Troy would leave 30 minutes later, as always. They had had been sneaking around for quite some time. The whore part of the affair had worn off. Sharpay thought of everything through a different point of view. Right now she viewed the affair as relaxation, a stress reducer. Troy was stressed by what he and Gabby were going through and, well, Sharpay was his vacation, his relief. His savior that was delivered to him every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evening at the local Raddison. She was indeed "The Other Woman" but she didn't care anymore. High School was no different. She could not possibly count the times she had been "The Other Woman" and didn't care. It was written on the stall in the men's room "Call Sharpay Evans. She'll relax you from your relationship" and then listed her phone number. The strange thing was, was that no girl would have suspected that Sharpay was "The Other Woman". No one had doubted that she was a great actress, but they never suspected her to lie about her life.

"I would like to check out please," She told the clerk, who was some clueless blonde who was texting and not paying attention to anything that was going on around her. "Excuse me," Sharpay said to her again.

"Huh?" The girl said looking up. "Oh Mi God! Sharpay Evans? I LOVE YOU!!!"

The bust of excitment from the girl was not surprising to her. She was one of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood. She had won countless awards and was rich beyond belief. Troy was an actor as well, just as rich and famous, although the two had never worked together.

"Thank you," Sharpay said to her, "I'm kind of in a hurry so if you could check me out quickly that'd be great." She didn't want the girl to see her and Troy leaving at the same time, and he would be down any minute.

"Of Course," The girl said to her. She reached for Sharpay's card and started talking uncontrollably. "My friends and I just loved you in True Colors. You are amazing as a comic actress. Do you ever think you'll do a movie with Troy Bolton? He is like the hottest man in Hollywood, I mean if you guys did a movie together, wow, it would, like, totally rock!"

"Umm...So are we done here?" She asked the girl hopefully.

"Yes. Sorry, I'm new and meeting a star on your first day alone is kind of crazy."

"Well have a great day." Sharpay told the young lady and walked out of the hotel. Once she was outside, she called Troy.

ring, ring, ring

"Hello?" Troy said.

"Hey, It's me. Don't go to the young blonde girl when you leave because she checked me out and well you don't want to know what she said." She told him.

"Alright." He told her. "Thanks for the warning, Carrie." He was probably going down the hallway or in the elevator. That was the only time he used his personal assistant's name. Since Troy and Sharpay were both in the spotlight, news leaking about the two would be highly dangerous.

She thought aboout what the girl said to her about working with Troy. Would they ever do a movie together? If they did do a movie, it would be hard not to show affection with each other. The only time her mind was off Troy was when she was with Gabby.

Gabby. Clueless Gabby. She had never suspected anything. Not while they were in high school, not when Sharpay made the move to Hollywood, or even now. Of course, Troy was a great actor and could keep the darkest of secrets. So she couldn't blame Gabby for not being able to tell.

Sharpay got in her SUV and drove to her house. She had a meeting with her manager, Tom, today and being late would result in suspicion. Suspicion was the last thing Sharpay needed.
