At school, Tom was invisible, or worse, laughed at. He wore glasses that always slid down his nose, scribbled band logos all over his notebooks, and spent lunch breaks hunched over his music sheets, humming melodies no one else understood. The other students called him names, shoved his books off his desk, whispered when he walked by. But what they didn’t know was that the same boy they mocked was him — the lead guitarist of the rising rock band Tokio Hotel with millions of online fans and sold-out local gigs.

“Let them laugh,” he whispered once after a rough day, as they sat together in the back of the library together. “As long as you know who I really am… I don’t care.” he said, but there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
