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.

A/n: Sorry that it took so long. School again. Boo. Try my best to up date more.

That night Katie's head was spinning with thoughts. Had John-Micheal actually try and kiss her? And why was Freddy so jealousy. 'Well duh he likes he you' she thought 'I'm just having something weird happen to me. Two guys like me. ME, of all people. Katlyn Nicole Brown. I most be the luckiest girl in the world.' And at that she started to write and write and write until she thought she was almost finished with her new song.

I was six years old

When my parents went away

I was stuck 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

Chorus:

Living in the shadow

Of someone else's dream

Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me

Living in a nightmare

A never-ending sleep

But now that I am wide awake

My chains are finally free

Don't feel sorry for me

All the days collided

One less perfect than the next

I was stuck inside someone else's life

And always second best

Oh I love you now

'Cause now I realize

That it's safe outside to come alive

In my identity

So if you're listening

There's so much more to me you haven't seen

Chorus:

Living in the shadow

Of someone else's dream

Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me

Living in a nightmare

A never-ending sleep

But now that I am wide awake

My chains are finally free

Don't feel sorry for me

That's all she had right then. She needed to get some sleep for tomorrow. So she went to sleep with dreams of medals awards and a record deal.

(A/N Sorry so short school you know.)
