After having lunch with Taylor, Sharpay went back to the studio to work on the new song. She was currently sitting in the recording room, scribbling down some random lyrics. Her manager, Smith walked into the room with a goofy grin on his face.

"Sharpay! I want you to do something for me." He said while staring at her.

She just rolled her eyes. "I know, you want me to write a new song to complete the album."

Smith just grinned and folded his arms across his chest. "Seems like your on top of things huh."

"Well I wouldn't say that, I mean Luke told me already."

He nodded. "Well keep up the good work."

When he left, Sharpay rolled her eyes again. Smith was a good man, just not that good at keeping off of people's nerves. Of course he didn't mean to get on people's nerves intentionally, he just pushes and eventually pisses a few people off, by the stress he adds. She has him to thank though, cause if it wasn't for that stress and pushing, she wouldn't be close to coming out with an album. She sighed as she turned back to her work. She did owe Smith something and that was to come out with the best song to put on her album. It took her about 2 hours to come up with it. Usually it wouldn't have taken this long at all, but she had to make a few changes here and there. All in the end it was worth it. The song was finally completed and she had a good feeling about it.

She quickly tore the lyrics off the notebook and ran into Luke's office. He was sitting at his desk trying to balance a pencil on his nose. He wasn't successful, considering the pencil kept falling.

She stood at his doorway and crossed her arms. "There's no way that pencil is going to balance. Your nose is slim and only has a slight curve."

Luke quickly grabbed the pencil in his hand as it started to fall off his nose. He sat up and looked at her. "Your suppose to be encouraging me. I could do it one day and when I do, I'll be the one saying 'I told you so'."

Sharpay rolled her eyes. "Sure you will. Anyways look, I finally came up with a song and I have a feeling its going to be a good one."

Luke nodded. "Well lets take a look shall we?"

Sharpay handed Luke the paper and he took a look at it. He started to shake and nod his head at some parts. It seemed like he was taking forever to read it, which only made Sharpay even more nervous. It was about 30 minutes and he was still reading it. She couldn't take it anymore, she just had to know if it was good or not.

"Well?" She said as she bit her bottom lip.

Luke looked up with a serious face. "I'm sorry, but..."

Sharpay suddenly frowned. "That bad huh?"

"You never let me finished. I was going to say, I'm sorry, but that has got to be the best song!"

Sharpay clapped her hands and smiled. "Good!"

Luke nodded. "Lets get some beats added to the lyrics. I was thinking about a pop or club theme."

Sharpay nodded and started to think. "How about we combine the both of them?"

It took Luke a minute to think about it, till he finally nodded his head. "That just might work. Lets go in the recording room and work on it."

They both headed to the recording room and started to try different beats with the song. It took them about 4 hours, till they found the right one. It took about 2 hours to record the song, when she was finally done, she was exhausted.

"I'm just about ready to fall asleep right here and now."

Luke chuckled and patted her on the back. "Well lets just show Smith the new song and see what he thinks about it."

Sharpay groaned but agreed. She followed Luke into Smith's office and took a seat in a chair by his desk. Luke handed Smith the CD and sat down in the chair beside Sharpay. Smith gave them a look that read 'what the hell is this?' Which only made sharpay roll her eyes. He was clueless at times.

"Its Sharpay's new song." Luke said.

Smith nodded "Well lets see what you came up with." He put the CD in the stereo and payed very close attention the song as it played. It made Sharpay nervous, she got the impression that he didn't like it. After the song was over, he still had the same expression on his face. It was like he was having a staring contest with his desk. He finally snapped back to reality and smiled.

"Looks like this song going to be a hit. Maybe your new single too huh?" He said with a wink.

Sharpay was relieved that he like it. She really didn't want to have to write a whole new one and go through the hours of recording it. "Thanks Smith."

He nodded. "No problem, here's what I want you do. I have already booked you a open concert in the arena for tomorrow. You'll sing a couple of songs and the new single. Just to give fans a sneak peek, of whats to come. It'll be great publicity for you and good for your album too."

Sharpay didn't mind doing the concert, she just had to make sure to get some good sleep. She could feel the nerves in her stomach, she wasn't nervous about the audience, she had been performing in front of a large amount of people before. She was just nervous about her album coming out, she knew she had fans in her town, but what about outside of her town, what about in the entire world. What would they think of her? It just scared her to even think about them hating her. "Okay, I'll be ready for it."

Smith nodded at her and shooed Luke and her out of his office. She was exhausted and ready to go home and crash on her bed. She went into the recording room and grabbed her stuff. As she was on her way out she said goodbye to Luke and made her way out to the front. Just as she was about to go, she went in the kitchen to grab a coffee to go. Just to keep her a wake on the way home.

She grabbed a cup and was about to turn around and fill it up with coffee till, she felt a pair of strong hands cover her eyes. She was about to scream till the voice started to whisper in her ear.

"Guess who."

She knew that voice too well, it belonged to the one and only, Troy Bolton. "Let me guess...my gay hair dresser?"

Troy dropped his hands and gasped. "How dare you compare me to your gay hair dresser."

He pretended to fake a pout, which only made Sharpay laugh. "I was just kidding! Anyways how did you know where the studio was and what are you doing her so late?"

He smirked "I got my connections and I came to see you."

She rolled her eyes. "mhmm, care to tell the real truth?"

"Fine I called Chad, who then asked Taylor, but the part about seeing you was true." he said.

She nodded. Taylor must have been crazy, letting Troy come to the studio when she knew that Luke would be there too. She would just have to find a way to kick him out. "Hey Troy, I'm really busy, maybe we can talk some other time?"

Troy raised and eyebrow. "Really? What are you doing?"

"uh, I was just going to go over some parts with my new song." she lied.

He nodded "Cool, mind if I stay till your done"

Sharpay was about to answer his question when all of a sudden Luke walked out.

"Hey, I thought you were..." he stopped dead in his tracks when he found Troy standing next to Sharpay. "Oh...um..hey."

Troy nodded towards him. "Hey."

"What brings you here?" Luke asked.

"Just stopping by to see my girl." Troy said.

Luke raised an eyebrow. "Wait...your girl? I believe she hasn't chose you yet."

Sharpay knew where this was going. Another fight was about to break out and she wasn't going to just stand there. She quickly grabbed Troys hand and dragged him toward the door. "Hey Troy, lets go get some coffee okay. I'll see you later Luke. "

Troy smirked and Luke just glared. Sharpay just shook her head and walked outside with Troy. She felt the cold breeze hit her face as she walked to her car. She got in and waited for Troy to get in. He must have got the drift that she wanted to take one car, as he saw the look on her face of 'hurry the hell up.' He quickly got in and buckled up. It was silent for a while till Sharpay decided to speak up.

"So, what have you been up to?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to look at her. "Nothing much, I went to work. It was pretty hard, but I got through it."

Sharpay raised an eyebrow. He was a college basketball coach, he wasn't as much as a big hit in California then he was in Albuquerque. She never really found how strange it was, that all of her friends moved to the big golden state. Sharpay moved for a better career in acting and singing, well Ryan moved for the same reason and of course Kelsi went with him. Then Troy moved to be close to Sharpay, when he later decided to apply to be a coach at Los Angeles City College. He got the job and inspired Chad to move down, in hope that he too will find a job like Troy's. Of course that resulted Taylor moving down here too. For Gabby, well she was just someone that just ended here. Probably to get some exciting job that involved math and science knowledge, which of course she was capable of doing. It all just worked out for them really well.

Troy must of saw her raised eyebrow and had a puzzled look on his face. "Uh...what?"

She smirked as she entered Starbucks and stood in line. "Nothing, just that I never knew that basketball could be such a hard sport to coach."

Troy gasped "It is! Have you tried to make the players do certain plays and they ignore you by doing their own little stunts to be show offs? Its very annoying, plus how about making sure their good to go for their upcoming game? Its stressful at times."

Sharpay shook her head and moved up the register. "I'll have a Caramel Frappuccino." She said as she got money out of her wallet, but Troy stopped her, before she could pay.

"I got this. I'll have the same." He told the cashier as he paid for both of theirs.

"You know I could have paid for mine." She said as she crossed her arms.

He smirked. "I know, but I wanted to pay."

She smiled and took her drink off the counter. "Thanks."

Troy grabbed his and followed Sharpay to a table. He sat down and started to sip on his Frappuccino."No problem. I kind of have an idea and I want to know what you think about it?"

"Okay what?" She said as she too started to sip on her Frap.

"I'm thinking about leaving Gabby and I want to know how you feel about that."

Right at that moment Sharpay could have spat out her drink. "What?"

He sat up straight. "Well I was thinking about what you said that night and in the morning. You were right, I can't have both of you and I was wondering how you would feel if I just broke it off with Gabby. That would resolve everything right?"

Sharpay scrunched her eyebrows together. "Uh no..I want you to break it off with her if you feel its the right thing to do. Not cause you feel obligated to." She looked at her watch and got up. "Lets go, its starting to get late. We can finish the rest of our fraps in the car."

Troy nodded and got up. He followed Sharpay outside to her car, the cold air started to die down a bit and it was actually nice outside. He got in the car and buckled up, with out Sharpay having to give him the 'hurry the hell up' look. Which surprised Sharpay, cause she normally would have to use that look on him. She started up the car and started to drive back to the studio, so Troy could pick up his car.

Troy looked out the window in a deep thought. He thought Sharpay was the one, then again he really didn't know if those feelings were just there cause of their talk or if it was real. It bugged him, cause he was tired of thinking about the whole situation. Sharpay was talking about something, but he couldn't really make out what she was saying. He was sure that she was telling him to take time to think about his choice. Which he already knew, not only from her, but from Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, and Ryan. Not forgetting his parents.They flew back to Albuquerque after the wedding, but he still kept in touch with them. He felt like he had a big bomb attached to him. If he made the wrong choice, then oops, he just blew himself up. If he made the right one, then well he was a happy man. The only thing was, Troy didn't know which one was the right choice. Before he knew it, he was in the studio's parking lot. He snapped out of his thoughts just in time to her Sharpay say.

"Look, just think about it okay. Oh, I'm having this concert tomorrow for my album release. Its like a sneak peek on whats going to be on there. You should come."

Troy smiled. "Sure I'll be there."

Sharpay's cheeks brighten and she smiled "Okay, I'll see you there."

Troy nodded and got out. He went to his car, he got in and started to drive home. When he was safely out of her sight, Sharpay banged her head against the steering wheel. "Great, just what I need. The guys thinking about leaving his wife for me and I can't even decide if I want him or Luke. Just great." She sighed as she sat up and started to drive home. It didn't take her long to arrive home, when she finally got inside and took off her shoes, she instantly headed towards her bedroom and changed. She climbed into bed and fell a sleep just as her head hit the pillow. She had a big day tomorrow and she didn't want to be the grouchy witch in the morning.
