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.

As Katie was walking into her first class her friend Summer Hathaway came up to her.

"Hey Katie how was you morning?" "Normal" Katie replied when her other friends Freddy Jones and Zack Mooneyham entered the room. "Hey Summer. Hey Katie" said Zack. "Hey guys" Freddy said. "Hey." was all that the girls could say before the bell rang. So the guys had to take their seat.

It was just another boring first, second, and third periods. Then at lunch Freddy, Zack, Summer, and Katie sat at their usual spot and ate lunch. But before long Summer went to talk to Alica and the other girls in the band. So now Freddy and Zack were talking about Areosmith and other bands like them. So know Katie was writing more of her song:

I was six years old

When my parents went away

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

She was beautiful

She had everything and more

And my escape was hiding out and running for the door

Somebody listen please

It use to be so hard being me

Living in the Shadow

Of someone else's dream

Trying to find a hand to hold

But every toach felt cold to me

Living in a nightmare

A never ending sleep

"Hey can I read that?" Freddy asked snapping Katie back to reality. "Yeah let's see it." Zack chimed in. "Maybe when I'm finish but not now." she said and then left because she was embaressed. The rest of school was just as boring as the beginning. After school she jogged home to get changed for band practice and grabbed her bass. Just as she was about to leave her mom called her in to the kitchen (a/n: They talk a lot in the kitchen don't they.) "Yes ma'ma "Katie said. "Katlyn I wish you would dance ballet again it's more acceptable than a rock and roll band called Cool on Bock. You should be more like your sister. She is such a good daughter." Mrs. Brown said. "Mom if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. I hate ballet. And my band is called School of Rock and not Cool on Bock. Oh and I don't want to be Kayla. Bye I'm going to be late." Katie left the house and and went to Zack's house were the band had practice. They had an awesome practice. They were almost ready for their gig in two weeks. After practice Katie went home. She grabbed a bowl of cereal and went to her room to work on her song. It was 10:30 when she went to but her song was still not finished.
