Love and Champagne
Chapter 1: Would You Like Some Champagne With Your Perfect Life?
Uzumaki Naruto is one of those boys that every girl, and a few boys, want to have and every boy wants to be like. He seemingly has everything; enough money, sweet parents, good looks, and a lot of friends… What more could you ask for?
The popular blond was walking through the streets of his home city, Woodbroke, with his two best friends; Alyssa and Cynthia.
Alyssa was a tall brunette and not the sharpest tool in the shed. Her dad was a successful lawyer and her mom was a dermatologist. They had a giant apartment and they bought her literary everything she wanted. When she was 14, Alyssa wanted a car and they actually bought her one. Don't ask how that turned out…
Then there's Cynthia. There's a stereotype that blonde women are dumb but Cynthia isn't one of them. She always gets an A+ and she once had a nervous breakdown when she got a B. She doesn't have a mom but she does have two dads. One of them is a dentist and the other is a successful writer; he published like 4 books already and they were all huge successes.
"I want a Starbucks, anyone with me?" Alyssa asked. She was carrying her purse in one hand, and her iPhone in the other, browsing the web.
"Sure! I haven't drunk one since morning" the blond boy smiled. He took out his smartphone and checked his time. "Shit! My parents are going to visit one of their friends and I have to come along… Let's hurry up with that coffee!" he continued.
After the three teenagers got the coffee, Naruto said his goodbyes and hugged each of them. "Love ya! See you tomorrow!" he shouted as he was running back to his apartment.
"Lova ya too!" Alyssa winked and waved. Cynthia did the same thing and they both walked away.
"Oh my God, did you see what Karen was wearing today? Red with green? Not unless it's Christmas, honey" the blonde said and took a sip of her coffee.
"I know, right? Where did she get it? A dumpster?" the brunette laughed.
"Or her grandma's closet."
"Isn't that the same?" Cynthia laughed. Alyssa removed the straw away for her mouth and they both started laughing at this.
Meanwhile Naruto opened the door to his apartment and stepped inside. "Welcome home, dear!" his mother, Kushina, smiled.
"How was school?" his father, Minato, asked.
Kushina and Minato were both sitting on their living room couch, the woman drinking wine.
"Hey! It was fine. Nothing too special happened, though. And mom, why are you drinking? Aren't we going to your friend Kelly's place?"
"Yes. That is why I'm drinking. Kelly always tells me those stories about her boring life. At least I won't remember any of them when I'm drunk" Kushina answered and took a sip of her wine.
"Then why are we going to see her, if she's so boring?"
"She's my friend!"
"Whatever" the blond said and walked into his bedroom. He threw his schoolbag on the floor and sat on his bed. He opened his 2000$ laptop and clicked the Facebook bookmark.
"34 friend requests? I don't even know any of these people… Whatev" he said and accepted all of his requests. His last post had over 500 likes and 400 comments. Being popular in real life and on the internet; some people can only dream about that.
Later he took a shower and washed his hair. He walked out of his private bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and wet hair. Naruto opened his drawer and took out a piece of clean and fresh boxer shorts.
After he got completely dressed he and his parents walked out of their apartment and into their fancy car. That car probably costs more than someone's apartment.
During their visit, Kelly was telling Kushina one of her boring stories again, while Naruto was taking a sunbath at the pool. Kelly's daughter, Gaby, soon joined him. She was wearing a big sunhat, big heels, large designer sunglasses and, of course, a designer bathing suit.
"Hey, Naruto! Haven't seen you in a while."
"Huh? Oh, hi Gaby. How are you?" the blond asked with a smile.
"I've been better. Jason broke up with me! Does he know who I am? I don't get dumped, I dump!" the angry blonde started shouting. She laid on a deckchair next to Naruto and took a sip of his ice tea.
"That's mine, you know."
"Yeah, and?" she responded. "So? How is your love life? Got a girlfriend?"
"Neah. None of the girls at my school are my type… They're all to… girly… I can't explain it either" Naruto said and took a sip of his drink.
"So, would you rather have a guy fuck you in the ass?" Gaby curiously asked.
This question made the boy spit out his ice tea and cough. Have a guy fuck him in the ass? Seriously? "Are you serious?" he said after regaining his breath.
"It's okay, you can tell me! I'm good at keeping secrets!" the blonde said. Wrong! Gaby was like the worst secret keeper ever in the history of humankind. She was like a tourist centre for secrets. You secret would stay hidden longer if you put it on the web than tell it to her.
"What? No! Ugh… I'm going for a swim." Naruto stood up and took off his sunglasses. He ran towards the pool and jumped into it, creating a giant splash that hit Gaby.
"Oh my Gooooooood!" the blonde was shouting in terror. Seriously, just relax. It's just water, it doesn't bite.
After their visit the Uzumaki's headed back home. They stopped at a gas station to fill up their tank and while his parents were inside paying the bill, Naruto saw an older man with silver hair sitting on a bench. He was smoking a cigarette and reading a book. The blond couldn't get his eyes off him. Why was he so interesting to him? Was it the silver hair? No, it couldn't be; a lot of people from his school had the most insane hair color.
Soon his parents came back and sat in the car. Minato started the engine and they drove away, the blonds' eyes still hooked on the silver haired man.
The next day, Naruto, Cynthia and Alyssa were at Starbucks, again, drinking coffee and talking about how everyone was dressed at school today.
"I can't believe Jessica wore that ugly shirt to school! My grandma has a carpet that looks better than that!" Alyssa laughed.
Suddenly, during the conversation, Naruto noticed the same silver haired man walking towards them. "Who is that? Is he following me?" he thought. His heartbeat was speeding up while the man was getting closer and closer towards them. He finally came to them, but apparently he wasn't interested in them, as he kept walking. "Oh… I guess he's just walking around… Why am I so paranoid?"
"So, Naru, what do you think of Jessica's shirt?" the brunette asked.
"Huh? Oh, um… I wanted to throw up on it but it looked like somebody already did."
The three teenagers started laughing at this. Yes, they are slightly mean but at least they talk about other people behind their backs. What you don't know can't hurt you, right? Right?
Suddenly a beep was heard; it was Alyssa's phone. She put it in her hand and unlocked it. "Mark? What does he want? Hello?" she said and walked away so she could talk in privacy.
"I think I'm going to go now. I promised my mom to be home early because of that fucking math test tomorrow…" the blond said and stood up. He picked up his phone and drink and hugged Cynthia goodbye.

"If the square root of 235 is… Then the square root of 236 is…" Naruto was mumbling while he was studying for his test tomorrow. He absolutely hated math. "43 times 3 is… Oh fuck this shit!" he shouted and closed his notebook. He jumped onto his big comfortable bed and pulled a pillow to himself. "Who the hell even needs this shit? That's why they invented calculators!" he said.
A short beep was heard. Naruto turned over and picked up his smart phone; he got a text message from Cynthia.
hey hun, going shopping with Alyssa later, wanna join us? Xoxo *:
Sure! I seriously need a break from this fucking math shit he replied. The boy stood up and grabbed his school bag, which he carries around for most of the time, and walked out of his bedroom.
"Naruto? Where are going? Have you finished with your studying?" Kushina asked. She was sitting on the couch and drinking some cherry flavored tea. Minato wasn't at home; he was at work.
"Yeah! It was totally easy!" Naruto replied-that liar. He rushed over to the front door and put on his original sneakers and quickly left the apartment.
Naruto quickly ran to the Woodbroke City Center to meet with Alyssa and Cynthia; it was the best shopping mall in the entire city, you could get all the designer labels there.
"Does this dress make my butt look big?" Alyssa asked.
"No! No… Yes…" Cynthia said. She hated hurting Alyssa's feelings but she was bad at lying.
"Try the dark blue one. It looks better on your skin" Naruto proposed while he was looking through some clothes. He wasn't even sure what he was looking for but he just kept on looking.
After their 'short' shopping spree, the three friends parted their ways, each heading back home.
The blonde boy was walking past a Starbucks shop when he saw the same silver haired man sitting inside drinking a coffee and reading a book. "Why am I so hooked up on him? He's just a random guy! Get over it, Naruto!" the blonde was thinking to himself while shaking his head. The silver haired man looked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow. "Yikes!" the blond thought and quickly hid next to the window so that he wasn't visible to the man anymore. A few moments later the man came walking out, still calmly reading his book. "Can I help you?" he asked. His voice was deep, calm and unbelievably sexy.
"Wh-What?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"You seemed to be looking at me. Do I know you?" he asked again.
The blond didn't know what to say to that. What was he supposed to say? Sorry, I just like looking at you like a complete weirdo? "Um… Well… I…. I need to go!" he said and quickly started running.
The older man was just looking at him in confusion. "Kids today…" he sighed and kept on walking with his book open.
