The Diary of A Broadway Star

Summary: Troy finally sees Sharpay in a different way, but is she still her old high school self? What secrets is she hiding? Story is better than summary. Also, this is a songfic with lyrics from "I Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You" Romance/Drama themed. Rated T.

(A/N): The reason why this fic has its title is because every now and then there will be Sharpay's diary entries in the story. You'll see what I mean later on.

(A/N): Also, most of the time whatever is in italics with 'quotations' is usually thoughts or point of views. You'll probably know when you read it.

DISCLAIMER: I can only dream of owning HSM, because I don't. It all belongs to Disney.

Plus, I also don't know much about practices for Broadway musicals or any of that. I'm really just guessing, so don't kill me ).

Enjoy the first chapter of this fic! I have high hopes for it and think it will be something you'll enjoy. Tell all your friends! LOL. Remember, it's only the beginning and introducing you to the story. We haven't got into all the good stuff yet. ;-)

The Diary of A Broadway Star

Chapter One: Fate In The Crescent Moon

On a cool summer Wednesday night in Manhattan, a calm breeze brushes against the faces of those on foot. The only natural light to be seen is the gleaming crescent moon in the sky. The neon signs and florescent lights illuminate the city; and a young brown haired man strolls down the busy pavement with all the excitement of the Big Apple surrounding him. The turning of his head brings about his eye to catch upon a poster tacked up on the side of a building. The charming brunette stopped in his tracks and stepped over to the poster. It read: Broadway brings you the newest and greatest musical in the city! Starring Ayden Long, Ramona Kent, and Sharpay Evans. The young man had to look twice. "Sharpay Evans?" he thought out loud. 'I didn't know she was into Broadway now.' He looked over the poster for a minute and then walked on. (Picture the part of the movie when he looked over the audition sign up list in the hallway LOL)

"And five, six, seven, eight!" The director screamed as a recording of loud orchestra music played. Immediately, all different combinations of kicks, steps, turns and flips commenced; taking place in an exceptionally arranged manner.

An attractive young blonde danced and danced, moving across the stage beautifully. Her long flaxen hair moved with her body, flipping and twirling as did she. "Stop!" said the short balding director. All dancing ceased at once, each and every huffing and puffing person halting simultaneously. The pretty blonde, next to all of her other cast mates, put on an almost phony smile. This was regular routine in theater especially; to smile after performances, unless directed to have a different dramatic expression on their face. It was very important.

"Fantastic! Good work guys, that was simply marvelous!" said the director. "Take a break. I'll see you all tomorrow."

The tired-out Sharpay took a swig out of her Evian bottle and gulped it down. She sat down on a fold up chair and took off her shoes. Her feet were red, battered and blistered. She winced as she wiped them down with a wet cloth and set them in a bucket of water and ice. Then she took out her sidekick from her pink sequined purse and scrolled through her schedule and to-do list. Today was Thursday, and at 4:15 Sharpay had an appointment with her masseuse. Tomorrow night she was to perform in the Broadway musical she had been practicing for. By now she was exceptional at it because she had already performed it in the theater three times, not to mention the four week preparation before opening night and non-stop practicing in between. But although Sharpay was always very confident in herself, she still hoped deep down in her heart that everything would go well. Therefore, she was thankful that any excess stress would be relieved with a nice, pleasant massage.

"Yeah, I swear!" Troy said to Chad, who was on the phone with him from San Jose, New Mexico. After all, he wanted to move away from Albuquerque, but still wanted to stay close to home.

"I was just walking around in the city after work yesterday and I saw the flyer for the show. It said the newest musical was starring two..other people and Sharpay Evans! I saw it with my own eyes, dude." said Troy.

"Yeah, I'm not exactly surprised either, but it's just funny to see her name after it's been six years since high school, and it's in lights, no less. It's cool how she's been successful, you know? And she's so close to where I live, too! I can't believe it. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go see the play tomorrow night."

"Yeah, really Chad!" he said again. "It should be cool. See ya." Troy hung up.

The next night was Friday night, and Troy was on line to go into the theater and see Sharpay's musical. As he walked in to the theater, where there were tons of people, stands where you can buy drinks and snacks, and a booth set up for souvenirs, he looked up and saw all of the giant sized pictures hung up of Sharpay and her co-stars. 'This should be interesting' He thought.

It was about fifteen to twenty minutes into the show when Sharpay's character was brought into the action. At first, Troy had to squint a little to see that it was really her, but then he realized. He was kind of taken aback, and sat back against his chair once again to enjoy the show.

In this one scene, Sharpay's character, Minnie, was dressed in a cut-off top that stops right above her ribs after it passed her bust line. The small top had a zipper half way down the front of it, which was almost all the way un-zipped. She had on a skirt with a waist line that sat a little below her belly button, and the bottom of it fell in the middle of her thigh. Along with it she wore black fish net stockings and knee high boots with a big heel. (As far as the boots, I wasn't sure how to describe them; and I wanted to be nice with it but the only words that came up in my mind were 'hooker boots'. But you know, lots of people wear them over a pair of jeans in the winter LOL.) Her hair was long and blonde as always and tonight it had gentle sexy curls in it. The character of Minnie was an old-fashioned dancer and an amazing singer in a bar, (Not like Coyote Ugly) who really isn't all bad. She needed money and couldn't find a job besides doing what she did. Besides, it helped her since she lured all the men as it was. Minnie ends up getting between a relationship because of her history with a man, and because of reoccurring feelings between them, although she doesn't mean to cause any trouble.

As Troy watched Sharpay strut across the stage in that revealing outfit, all of a sudden he was interested. He wasn't trying to be a cad, but it was then that he realized just how beautiful she had grown to be. In high school, he always noticed the attractiveness she had to her, but it was never a big deal as it was now. The more the show went on, the more she danced, the more she sang with that voice, the more she moved around seductively; the more Troy was attracted to Sharpay. Troy started to see Sharpay in a different way. In a sexy way. He hadn't spoken to her in six years, but he wanted her.

Wow, Troy's a little horn dog, huh! Didn't expect that coming from a Disney Channel sweet, singing jock did ya? LOL! Actually, I liked to portray that in this first chapter when he first sees Sharpay again, but a little later on he will lighten up I promise ). I mean, come on I had to make it a little more realistic. Most guys don't automatically think a girl is beautiful, they think they're hot! LOL enough of that. P Well, sorry if it was kinda short, but I thought that was a really good way to end the first chapter. Did you guys like it? I hope you all will 'cause I'm really working hard on it and will definitely put my all into this story as it comes along. Oh, how I wish you all will press that little 'GO' button on the bottom of the page!
