The New Girls on Campus

Fake Smiles and an Outsiders POV

Rating: T

(A/N: Italics are Sharpay's thoughts and everything I say about Syracuse University is completely made up and I don't own Sharpay, Troy or Gabriella)

The break between semesters was over and the second semester was to start on Monday. Of course, that Friday was a huge party to kick off the spring semester. Troy had gone to NYC with Gabriella to get all of her stuff from her dorm at NYU and he helped her move in with Claire and Jessica. Sharpay had arrived at Syracuse from Los Angeles. Troy and Gabriella hadn't seen her yet, but they knew Sharpay never missed a huge party, and they were right.

Troy, Matt, and Greg were just hanging out at the club waiting for their girlfriends to arrive. The girls had to get all dolled up and wanted to make an entrance at the club without their star basketball player boyfriends.

"Why did we let the girls come by themselves?" Greg asked.

"I dunno something like if they are with us no one looks at them they just look at us," Troy responded confused.

"When those three walk into a room every guy in the room stares at them," Matt said.

"Dude, how am I supposed to kn.." Troy said but was interrupted.

"Oh my god! Troy!" a girl said in a high-pitched perky tone. He rolled his eyes and mouthed Sharpay to the guys. He turned around and looked at her,

"Hi Sharpay, what are you doing here," he said uncomfortably.

"I go here now!" she exclaimed.

"Really," he said unhappily but still trying to be nice.

"Yeah, oh my god it is so great that you are here thank god I know some one," she replied.

"Yeah," he said and faked laughed.

Claire, Jessica, and Gabriella walked into the club. All three looked stunning, even though they always did.

"Gabs, who is that girl talking to Troy?" Claire asked.

"Sharpay," she replied angrily.

"You gonna go work your magic?" Jessica asked.

"You bet your ass I am," she replied, "watch and learn my friends." The girls laughed and she walked to Troy.

"We are going to have so much fun…" Sharpay stopped when a girl brushed right by her, not acknowledging her and stood in between her and Troy.

"Hey baby," she said and pulled him in and kissed him passionately, and he certainly didn't mind.

"Ahem," Sharpay cleared her throat. The girl pulled away and turned around still latched on to him.

"Oh my god! Sharpay!" Gabriella said in a fake tone. Sharpay's jaw dropped.

"Gabriella!" she replied also in a fake manner but clearly angry, "I didn't know you went here."

"Yeah, I transferred here, I didn't like NYU, and I wanted to be with Troy," she replied still smiling. Troy stood there amused by the fake conversation the girls were having.

"Oh how sweet," Sharpay said trying as hard as she possibly could to smile, "Well so I guess things haven't changed much since high school."

Gabriella looked up and smiled at Troy and he smiled back, "No they haven't," she said smiling, "Sorry what are you doing here?" she said in a more confused manner.

"She transferred her as well," Troy replied.

"Ohhh, okay, well we will be seeing you then," she said and smiled at Sharpay and then turned to Troy, "Hun, lets go before the girls and the team come looking for us."

"Bye Sharpay!" she said in an evil fake tone and they turned around and walked away. Sharpay just stood there frozen not knowing what to do.

"Since when was I dating such a bitch," Troy whispered to Gabriella.

"Since another girl tried to steal my man," she replied and saw Sharpay still standing there, so she pulled him in for another kiss. He pulled away and also saw Sharpay out of the corner of his eye. He shook his head and laughed.

"You are so evil," he said.

"I know," she giggled. She turned around and smiled at Sharpay.

"That girl is going down," Sharpay mumbled. Sharpay watched them walk over to the team and their girlfriends, it was true nothing had changed.

SHARPAY'S DORM ROOM

"Hey, I have a question," Sharpay said to her roommate, Catherine.

"Yeah?" she replied.

"What is the deal with the basketball players and there girlfriends here?" she asked in a confused and disgusted tone, "like at the club everybody kept staring at them."

"Sit down my friend this might take a while," she replied. Sharpay sat down kind of confused and worried.

"Basketball is Syracuse's pride and joy, therefore the basketball players are like gods…"

"Yeah, I have experienced that before," Sharpay said sarcastically remembering the days at East High.

"Good, so there girlfriends are the hottest things on campus, every girl wants to be them, every guy wants them. The better the player is the hotter the girlfriend gets. Katie, Amanda, Claire, Jessica, and Gabriella are the…"

"Wait?" Sharpay interrupted.

"What?"

"How did you know about Gabriella, she just transferred here," She asked confused.

"How can you not know Gabriella, she would come up here almost every weekend, she is absolutely beautiful, best friends with Claire and Jessica, and most importantly she is Troy Bolton's girlfriend, the guy that every guy wants to be and every girl wants," she replied. Great I am not the only girl on campus who would do anything to be Gabriella.

"Ok…" Sharpay said.

"But what really surprised people, his how they are madly in love with each other. Troy could hook up with a gorgeous girl every night, but he has turned down every single offer he has gotten," she said, hearing this did not make Sharpay happy at all, "and what girl on campus doesn't want to have a guy as gorgeous as him madly in love with her?"

Are you kidding me! Sharpay pretended like she wasn't extremely upset about this, "Wait why does it matter that she is best friends with Claire and Jessica?"

"Claire and Jessica are like Paris and Nicky Hilton, when ever they walk into a party people stare. People go to parties just to be seen hanging out with them, and then they took Gabriella under their wing and now she is like that too," Catherine replied.

"It is really like that here?"

"Sadly, it is." she said.

"So guys like that really stay faithful, wow," Sharpay said.

"I know right, but these girls are the ones that control the boys. These are not trophy girlfriends. A lot of people think that they are just using each other, the boys using the girls for their beauty, the girls using the boys for their status but it is completely false. Some of the bench players are complete players, but with the starting five, don't expect them to break up with their girlfriends anytime soon," she said.

"How do you know?" she asked hoping that Catherine would have a bad source.

"My sister dated one of the bench players for a while," she said.

Damnit!

"Are these girls nice?" Sharpay asked.

"I have never met them, but they seem nice, and from what I am told they are, especially Gabriella," she replied. Uhhh, you have got to be kidding me!

"Wait how did you know about Gabriella," Catherine asked Sharpay.

"Oh, umm, I went to high school with her and Troy," she replied.

"Are you serious?"

"Yep and nothing has changed," Sharpay replied.

"So they made out every where, really over-protective of each other, hottest couple on campus, madly in love with each other?" she said. Did you have to remind me? Sharpay just nodded.

"Yeah and no one thought they would get together, he was the hot basketball star and she was just a smart scholastic decathlon new-girl," Sharpay replied. Maybe if I spread around that she is a nerd at heart people will like her less! Sharpay you are a genius!

"Yeah, I heard she was like a genius." Damnit!

"Well I am glad I got all the scoop," Sharpay said smiling.

"Yep, and trust me it will help."

"Why?"

"Just so you don't waste your time trying to get with any of those guys," Catherine said getting up.

"Oh ok," she said sadly.

"Well I am off to bed, goodnight," Catherine said.

"Goodnight," Sharpay replied and walked into her bedroom and flopped on the bed.

Uhhh how am I going to do this? I did not come all the way here to lose to Gabriella. Well she is still little sweet innocent Gabriella, and I am Ice Queen Sharpay Evans, who never gives up.

Please R&R…Next up soon!
