DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the school of rock characters that are featured in the movie. I made Kayla up on my own. If she sounds like someone in another fan fiction I'm sorry but I did not know. Please read and review. This is my first fan fiction please be kind.

SUMMARY: Katie Brown was always in the shadow of her older sister Kayla. Katie's parents were always talking about how they wished that Katie was more like Kayla. Katie has started writing a song and you will see the writing process in the story. The School of Rock band is now in the seventh grade (7th) there might be some romance. I don't know and yes this is based one the Ashlee Simpson song "Shadow". Hope you enjoy it.

Katie Brown (katlyn was her real first name) woke up to her mom yelling that it was time for breakfast. So Katie got up and went to put on her school uniform. She put her hair up in a messy ponytail and went down stairs to eat breakfast. "Good morning." Katie said as she entered the kitchen. "Katlyn (she never called her Katie.) Dear I don't know why you wear your hair like that. You would look half decent if you wore it like you sister Kayla." Mrs. Brown said as Katie sat down. Throughout breakfast Katie had to deal with comments like these. "Bye Mom" Katie yelled as she and Kayla left for their own schools. "Maybe Katie if you were more like me mom and dad might love you more and might even pay attention." Kayla said this and then hoped in her red convertible and sped away. Kayla is 16. It was a birthday present from there parents. All Katie got for her birthday was a hamburger and underwear. Katie walked to school alone even though her friends live only 5 minutes away. So Katie started to look at her song she was writing. It was in her journal and she never left home without it. She read the lyrics:

I was six years old

When my parents went away

I was left inside a broken life that I couldn't wish away

She was beautiful

She had everything and more

She really needed to finish her song she might show it to the band. Since now that they were one of the most popular local bands around the whole band was starting to write songs and show them to the band. As she walked up the steps she closed her journal and put it away in her bag. AS she walked up the steps she thought about how the day was going to be.
