Summary
Carl Crashman is a lazy teen who is only good at one thing: slacking. One day, he had a rough day and he was tired of doing things he hated all the time. While blogging on the internet, he complained about his life. Hearing his request for a clone, online cloning company sent him a exact clone of himself in a box. Carl named him Carl²or simply C2. Even if C2 looked like him, talked like him, and walked like him, C2 is more ambitious, hard working, and charming, much to Carl's advantage. Since C2 arrived, Carl has been relaxing a lot more. However, C2 really always does something opposite to what Carl wants. Carl decided to keep C2 a secret from everyone else except his best friend Jaime James.
Theme Song
One night I was in my room,
Complaining online about life and soon,
Gotta chance to be so much more,
when met face to face wtih myself at the door,
I’m stuck with myself again, my clone is my new best friend. Carl Squared.
Freaks of a feather, now and forever. Carl squared.
He can walk and talk like me but don’t believe everything you see! Nanananana Nanananana.
He’s my clone, Carl squared.
