Jeremy goes Hollywood

Summer of 2007….What a ride that was! Jeremy Simms is one of the biggest Batman fans and he wanted to play in the film so his trip this summer would be to the United States to audition for the role of The Joker.


While he was getting ready for his trip to the United States he had many visitors that wished him good luck but deep inside they where laughing at how he will never make it. Jeremy was feeling the doubts of other people and that made him stronger. He packed up quick, kissed-goodbye his wife and begun his journey. The problem was that Jeremy didn’t have the money to buy an air plane ticket so he either needed to get in without one or swim there. After thinking to himself for 10 minutes he realized that as a future Hollywood star he should follow by example. He got into the plane without ticket and let everybody know what colour underwear he was wearing. On the plane he was silent. He didn’t speak to anybody and he looked like he was thinking of something of great importance. That is a fact because when someone asked him a question he always replied “Why so serious” but those sentences didn’t fit anywhere because the stewardess asked him if he wanted some nuts. After the encounter he was completely silent, he didn’t utter a word for the rest of the trip.


The plane just landed and Jeremy jumped up from his seat, probably in excitement…or shock, and rushed to the door. He couldn’t wait to get to the outside world. After 2 hours of continuous checking if he was carrying any foreign objects, he got aggravated and asked the policemen if it’s his looks that are the problem. They didn’t answer and told him to move on. Just outside the airport there where several taxis he could choose from but one had Paris Hilton as a Taxi Driver and he chose that one because he wanted to find out what do Hollywood stars do to have fun. After Paris Hilton “showed” him what stars like to do, she took him to a one star hotel that all that took part in the audition for the role rented a room at. There he became friends with quite a few people, some including Heath Ledger, Jack Nicolson, and Arnold Swarchenegger. They all were here for the role.

As the days went by he became more of a celebrity. He was invited for all the glamorous parties and all the cosmic events, the “showing” of Paris might have helped, but as the days were passing he was more and more concerned that if somehow he got rejected and didn’t get the role he would lose all this. He would become once again a simple teacher.

The Big Day is upon us. Its time for the audition and Jeremy is confident. He thinks that everybody else is a push-over and he has already gotten the role. The actors one by one start going inside and finally its time for our hero to enter. Everything was over, and he seemed confident Suspension and adrenalin was running through Jeremy’s veins but all the preparations led to nothing. Heath Ledger won, not Jeremy Simms. He was disappointed at first but then he realised that Hollywood and richness isn’t the only thing in life. He will always have his lovely students as a teacher that care about him while stars just hang out with him because he was “shown” around by Paris.

The Epic Journey for Jeremy ended in a good way, even though he didn’t accomplish his goals. The say that everything happens for a reason and in this case, they are right.
