Something I Used to Be
Chapter One: Stardom to Boredom
"Okay, Celina, I need you to call up Madonna and tell her I can't make lunch tomorrow I have a meeting with Hollywood Records." Sharpay demanded to her assistant.
"Alright Ms. Evans, don't you think that all of this is getting a little out of hand?" Celina asked
"What's getting out of hand?" Sharpay asked.
"You know all this red carpet events three times every month, going out partying every night dancing, that stuff."
"Well, I call that my life, and I like it this way, oh and be a dear and send Britney a fruit basket telling her to get her self back together and something like that. Now if you don't mind I must go get my hair and nails done for the Plain White T's Concert."
Sharpay had then grabbed her newest Dolce and Gabbana purse and Jimmy Choo sunglasses and headed out the door into her nice pink Lamborghini customized with her initials on the front hood. What could be more fabulous? Once Sharpay had left the phone had began to ring it was Mrs. Evans.
"Hello, this is Celina Sharpay's assistant, how may I help you?"
"Hi, Celina its Mrs. Evans I was just checking up on Sharpay."
"Oh yes, well she has been going overboard with spending money and partying and these red carpet events."
"Not again, she can't get into a mess like Britney has gotten herself tangled into. We need to get her out of Hollywood."
"But how, Mrs. Evans."
"I have the perfect idea."
"Well, what is it?"
"Celina, be a dear and pencil me in Sharpay's itinerary for twelve noon tomorrow, and I will be there as soon as I can."
"Alright, but what exactly do you have in mind?"
"Oh, you'll see. Just make sure that Sharpay has a lot of fun at that concert tonight."
"Yes, Mrs. Evans see you tomorrow."
"Thank you Celina." Mrs. Evans hung up the phone and got ready to head over to Hollywood by tomorrow.
That morning Sharpay had got an unexpected visit from her mother. Her mom came all the way from New Mexico just to talk some sense into her, out of Hollywood.
"Darling, oh you've finally awakened its noon, that's not healthy for a girl like you to be waking up so late."
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Sharpay snapped at her.
"Honey, I came her to warn you."
"About what?"
"You're ex boyfriend is stalking you and has a plan to sneak into your house and sell things online for money."
"How did you find out about this?"
"Well he called me last night to ask me where you lived and I thought that you were still together with him."
"Why would you tell him?"
"Honey, I'm sorry but he wanted to know and he seems sweet, and its on aol news, but you don't have the time to check the internet."
"Yes, mom I'm busy with my new movie and my new album coming out I'm a very busy girl, who now has yet another problem on her hands."
"Well, I have an idea why don't you come down to New Mexico with me and stay away for awhile and then he won't be following you anymore."
"Brilliant mother thank you, but what about the house."
"Oh don't worry buttercup, I'll do something about it."
"Okay thanks again let me go pack my things and I'll be ready in about an hour."
"Alright darling hurry our plane leaves at 4:30."
Sharpay ran upstairs into her bright pink room. She looked around, "How am I ever going to live without all of my things?" She grabbed a bag with her initials on it, and started throwing everything in makeup, clothes, shoes, purses, sunglasses, and electronics. She had to get other bags because she had so much stuff.
"What is taking her so long?" Mrs. Evans asked herself, looking at her watch. She had been waiting for at least 20 minutes. They had to leave soon, so she went up to find her. "Darling, what is taking you so long?"
"Mom! I need more bags! I don't have enough bags to carry all of necessities!" Sharpay cried out, trying to stuff her various items into the 5 bags she had laid across her floor.
"Sharpay! You do not need all of this stuff!" Mrs. Evans replied, looking through Sharpay's bags.
"But mom! I need all of these things, I use them everyday of my star life!"
Mrs. Evans looked into the third bag and took out white high heels. "And how do you use these? Or when? You already have 6 other pairs in here."
"But mom…" Sharpay whined.
"Sharpay Evans!"
"Fine." Sharpay grabbed the shoes that her mom was holding, and put them into her overflowing closet.
"Take all of these things out, and only take the things that you need."
"But!"
"If you don't empty those bags right now, you will have to share a room with your brother!"
"FINE!" Sharpay replied, emptying all of her bags.
"Now I'll be downstairs, come down when you have the things you need." Her mom said, exiting the room.
"AHHH!" Sharpay screamed, collapsing onto her bed. She needed help to separate wants from needs, so she pressed the button for the speaker. "Celina! Please come here and help me!"
Celina heard Sharpay's call through the speaker and sighed. "Yes?"
"I need help. What is the difference between my needs and the needs my mom says."
"Well, the needs that your mom is telling you to bring are clothes, two pairs of shoes, and toiletries.
"But I have all of my needs right here!" Sharpay said, motioning to the bags sitting beside her.
"Sharpay, we are going to be a while." Celina said.
"Ugh! And I need to leave soon too."
"Well, lets get started."
"How did I get being a star to going home to the boring place I used to live?" Sharpay asked, emptying out her pink bags.
"I don't know Sharpay, but it will teach you a lesson." Celina said to herself, making sure Sharpay didn't hear her.
But little did she know that Sharpay had heard her, and Sharpay knew one thing, she wasn't going to learn anything by going back.
