If there was an award for the biggest idiot ever, I would get it hands down. Yes, I am admitting to being an idiot. I don't normally admit to this because I'm smarter than all my friends combined. I take another fry and dip it in my strawberry smoothie. I then eat the fry. I had walked down a couple of streets and found this spot. It's called Groovy Smoothie. I look around and see all the kids my age with backpacks. I'm totally blending in as a student.
" Want some bacon?" The jamaican guy asks in bright colors. Bacon on a stick? I'm not questioning.
" Sure. Six pieces please." I say.
" You related to Sam Puckett?" He asks back. Um…..
" No! Who's she? What? No? Who is this Sam Puckett you speak of?" I exclaim, probably looking like an idiot.
" Then what's your name?"
" Um," I look around. Think of the letter C. " Celeste." I finally say.
" Pretty name." He says, then giving me the bacon. I chew on it. Bacon is probably my only vice. I look down at my futuristic phone. I can't get back home. The only years my dad put in was 2000 to 2012. I hear the door open. I give the phone a death glare.
" You mock me." I say to it. I throw my phone in my backpack that sits next to me. I zip it up. I've tried contacting my parents through text messaging but my service won't work. And my 8G won't let me get this 2012 wifi. I'm forever in turmoil. I don't know how my parents are gonna find out. I take another bite of my bacon, then hit my head on the table, sulking. I should just disappear now to get it over with.

" I really crave a banana smoothie." I say as we walk down the street. I tug on my hem of my shirt.
" I want blueberry." Carly says. We walk into the Groovy Smoothie with Freddie behind us, occupied by his phone. I order our smoothies while Freddie just wants fries. Since it's the only word that escapes his lips when I asked him what he wanted. I lean against the counter and look around the place. I notice the letter 'C' backpack from earlier today. I nudge Carly in the arm. She looks at me.
" Look," I say pointing. " It's the girl from the studio." I add.
" She's sulking." Carly states. No shit Sherlock.
" Here's your smoothies and fries." T-Bo says.
" Who's the sulking girl?" I ask T-Bo.
" First time I've seen her. Her name is Celeste. Six pieces of bacon." He replies.
" Six pieces." I say suspiciously. I take a sip of my smoothie. Freddie finally slides his phone into his back pocket and takes his fries.
" Girl from before." He says. Realizing that she is here, in the Groovy Smoothie.
" Why do you always read app making advice?" I ask.
" Because it's funny reading people's mistakes." He replies. He's so evil, all sarcasm intended. Carly walks over to her and Freddie and I follow in her steps. She pokes Celeste's arm. She lifts her head and her wavy hair no longer covers the table.
" Are you okay?" Carly asks. This girl is questioning her response. Now I question.
" I'm fine. My parents just sent me once again to place with no relatives at home." She replies. She then adds a sarcastic 'yeah'.
" What do you mean?" Carly asks. She can be so blonde some times.
" Let's just say that they sent me to England to see cousins who ended being on another continent."
" Ouch." Freddie comments. Another sarcastic 'yeah' escapes her lips. She sarcasms a lot. I heard some where that it means a healthy brain. That reminds me of someone.
" It's okay. I'm just upset because my phone isn't getting service and my 4G isn't working. It's kind of weird." She says.
" What's your name?" He asks. If he listened before, he would know.
" Celeste." She says. " Celeste Berkley."
" Have you tried emailing your parents?" Carly asks.
" Tried and failed." Celeste replies, looking down at her fry. Then she eats it.
" How about you come back to my place and email them." Carly suggests. I swear Celeste just looked at Carly like she's an angel sent from above.
" Thank you. So much!" She says, giving her a hug.
" This won't be the first time I've been hugged by a stranger." Carly comments.

Celeste sits in front of the computer trying away. She's really fast. Like, faster than me. Carly looks at her in amazement from the island. I sit at the kitchen table with Sam eating sour cream and onion chips. Celeste's head is to the side, and she reminds me of someone. She clicks the mouse and the send button sounds goes off.
" It worked!" She says. She takes her backpack from the swivel chair next to her.
" That's good." Carly says as she chops something up.
" Where are you gonna meet your parents?" I ask. I watch her eyes go to thinking mode.
" There coming from California. We have a meeting spot." Celeste replies. She heads to the door. Celeste turns to us and waves good bye. I wave back. Then she closes the door.
" And she walks out the door." I say dramatically.
" I'm guessing we're never going to see her again." Sam says bluntly.
" She reminds me of someone." Carly comments.
" I know, but I couldn't put my finger on it." Sam says. I roll my eyes. I'm trying not to put a finger on it. She's gone. Ido!
" Let's do some iCarly." I say.
" Yep, totally." Sam and Carly say in unison. We all head up the stairs.
" Celeste most definitely has someone's eyes." Carly comments. I roll my eyes in response.
Sorry it took so long to put up the new chapter. I've been super busy with work and getting ready for college. So must shopping must go down! Haha! I promise that chapter 3 will be up sooner! R&R
