Troy

I arrived in Manhattan yesterday and I've seen quite a few things that I've always wanted to see. This morning I woke up and I decided that I wanted to see the sights. I went to the statue of Liberty and my God, isn't it a beautiful sight. I could see literally everything. I was shocked. I didn't think that you would see all of that but you do, it's amazing. I don't know why I've never been to Manhattan before because it's the most amazing thing that I've ever seen. California is amazing too. I've seen the amazing beaches and I actually learnt to surf last year, it was pretty damn awesome. But now I'm in New York and I didn't think that I would see this. It is amazing, very beautiful.

As I was walking around, I noticed something right in front of me. Well, it wasn't very hard to miss. It was a massive billboard with Sharpay's face on it. She must be in a new Broadway production. I'm happy for her, I really am. Even though we didn't really get on in high school, she did annoy me a lot but like I said, she showed me the real her that summer, but she did annoy me most of the time. But who knows, she could've changed since she moved here. People change, boy do I know that and according to my mom, I've done just that. But enough about that. I was talking about her billboard picture. She looks stunning on it. I mean, Sharpay has always looked stunning but this looks more natural, it isn't what I'm usually used to. I'm usually used to pink and rhinestones, lots and lots of rhinestones, and lots and lots of pink. But she's wearing something plain. White plain. Don't ask me what she's wearing, to me it looks like a simple dress but if you'd asked another girl she could explain it to you.

Looking at the billboard gave me an idea. I wanted to come to the city so I could actually see a Broadway show, so how about I actually go and see her show. Maybe I could go and meet her afterwards, that would be fun, I just hope that the tickets haven't sold out by the time I get there. I take note of where she's performing from the billboard and I walk towards the building, along the way I ask many people where it is, you know, with not being from New York and never been here once in my life, I kinder need directions.

When I finally arrive at the building, I am lucky, and I mean, very lucky. I got the final ticket. The one ticket that was never sold. I purchased it and it's for tonight. I'm actually going to see her tonight. I bet she's amazing because she was always amazing in the high school productions. Yeah, she did sometimes over work them but she was good when she was being a soft character, that wasn't so often but when she did, it kinder brought a tear to my eye. Please don't tell anybody that because that would make me lame and I don't need another reason for my friends to laugh at me

I've just watched her perform and all I have to say is 'wow'. She was amazing. I've never actually seen her perform like that. It was soft and subtle. I really enjoyed her performance. I'm standing in the back now, where all of her fans are waiting for her. I don't know what I'm actually doing back here. I know I'd like to see her, but right now, I look like a crazed fan, which I'm not, not one bit. I just want to see somebody who I used to go to high school with.

I see a guy coming out of her dressing room, he doesn't look happy one bit, it looks like he's angry. I could actually see a vein sticking out from his forehead, that's not actually a good sign. Well, if he could go into her room, it must mean that she's allowed to see people, unless he's her PA and she's been a real bitch to him. Maybe he's not her PA and he's a friend of hers, or even a boyfriend who's she's really pissed off. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised. Sharpay Evans is what you call high maintenance, I feel bad for any guy who is actually with her. I just need to take a chance. I would like to her, I really would. I take a deep breath and I walk passed the crazed fans who are screaming, and by screaming, I mean really screaming, high pitched screaming, so high pitched that a dog could actually hear it. I finally walk passed them all and I'm met by a big guy. A big beefy guy. He must be around 6ft 6 or something because he is huge. He has a bald head, which looks like he polishes all the time because it's extremely shiny. I swallow hard and take a deep breath. He looks down at me, his eyes are like swords that are pointing straight at me. If this was a cartoon, they would be right in my face.

"Can I help you?" He says in a really deep voice. He has one of those voices that they're so deep that they sound like they're echoing. I have a deep voice but compared to his, I sound like my nuts are being grabbed or I'm on helium. I swallow again, I can feel beads of sweat trickling down my face. I have no idea what I'm nervous about, it's not like I'm about to kidnap her and never to be seen again, but the way things are going, it sure looks like he thinks that that's what I'm about to do.

"Um, I'm here to see Sharpay Evans," I say nervously. Oh great, now he really thinks that I'm gonna kidnap her. Why did this guy have to be so damn scary?

"Who are you?" He asks me. Well, to me because I'm so freaking scared of him, it sounds like he's interrogating me. I swallow hard once more. 'Holy crap, this guy is scary'

"I'm, um, Troy Bolton," I say to him. "Sharpay and I went to high school together in Albuquerque." 'Now, he's most probably thinking that I'm a freaky stalker, especially since I'm sweating like a pig and I'm completely nervous.' He shrugs his shoulders and turns around, he opens the door and pops his head through.

"Miss Evans, there's somebody here to see you," he tells her. I actually can't believe that he believed me. I mean, it's the truth and all but if he was my bodyguard, I would ask for a new one because this guy looks like he would believe anything. While I'm busy stuck in my thoughts, the big guy has already moved out of the way and Sharpay is staring at me. I smile at her and wave slightly

"Hey, Sharpay" I finally say to her, I'm looking at her and she looks in total shock that I'm here, I mean, I don't blame her because I think she would've thought that I would've been the last person to come and visit her. But there's something different about her. She looks upset. Was that guy her boyfriend? Did he just break-up with her or something?

She's upset. She's been crying. I can see the tear trails down her face all the way from here. I'm staring at the tears of an Ice-Queen.
