The Day I Met Robert Downey Jr.


By Bryan Nguyen

It was a boring and slow day in school. Some people expect kids just go run outside and be crazy and play weird games after school. That includes kids too. They would think you are weird. I think its perfectly normal. That’s not me. I’m not crazy! But it was the day when I met Robert Downey Jr. who plays Tony Stark/ Iron Man! It was a contest in school. The theme was “BEST LONGEST STORY” I stayed all night trying to come up with the best story ever! But it had to be long, so there was something I hate about the contest. I mean, I get the BEST STORY part, but the longest? I mean seriously they can’t just force kids to make stories like Harry Potter in a blink of an eye or even a week!! But I had to do it if I wanted to meet Robert Downey Jr. who plays Tony Stark in Iron Man! So really, it was worth it. But I had to cut on my TV and ps3 schedule. So I better win!



So after weeks and weeks of making my best “long” story I walked to school. I didn’t want a ride because I needed fresh air because of working on my story inside for at least 4 weeks. Well, you can see that I really wanted to win. I handed in my story to the teacher which she will give to the judges. I was so nervous!! Oh yeah I forgot tell you that I have problem with bullies in school. So one of the bullies is named “Crusher.” His real name is Joseph. But he doesn’t’ like the name “Joseph” So he Tells everyone to call him Crusher. I think the name is actually overused and the name is not really creative or “cool” as you say it. So today this morning, I was so close to reach the safe zone, the classroom, but the bullies caught up to me. “Yo dork. Got the lunch money?” said Crusher/Joseph. “Yes….” I groaned. But right at that second Robert Downey came to there rescue!!!!!! He said “You there. How about you back off before someone gets hurt.” The bullies ran so fast like the flash! “So hey your name is Andrew Tran. Right?” He said. “He knows my name!!!” I thought in my head.
