The Cambridges - BRF Fanfiction

4. James

Victoria walked inside the building, holding her bag with one hand and the closed umbrella with the other. She took a deep breath, trying to have the drops of water sliding off her coat. As she made her way to classes, she saw a well know figure walking towards her.

"Ehy Vicky," her cousin, Louise, smiled.

"Lou," Victoria smiled as well, happy to see her, just like any other day. "Let's head inside, uh?"

Louise nodded, unsure. "Yeah, they're something I must tell you before we go, though."

"What?" Victoria raised and eyebrow. "What's going on?"

As Louise pulled her aside, out of the flow of students walking to their classrooms, the Princess felt something wasn't right, and she saw that in her best friend's eyes.

"Vic, you remember James?" She asked. "The guy we saw at TTC the other day."

"I sure do," the other replied. "It wasn't the first time I had seen him."

"Well, about that, I don't know how to tell you: he's inside," she stated.

"Inside?" As Victoria tried to figure out what was happening, she glanced to her protection officers that, for once, was happy were near her. "What do you mean inside?" She whispered, grabbing Louise's arm. "And why is he always around? And now in our class, out of nowhere."

"That's what I've been wondering," Louise admitted. "You want to tell them or...?" With a nod of the head, she pointed to the protection officers, but Victoria shook her head.

"I'm here, we're here, the school is constantly under supervision," she said, trying to remain rational. "There's no way they don't know he's here. Plus, tonight I'll ask my father if he knows anything."

Louise nodded in agreement. "You're right. And that's a good idea. Then let me know, uh?"

As the Princess nodded, the girls walked inside their classroom, just minutes before the lesson started.

Victoria walked out of the school under a pouring rain. While cursing the rain, the weather, the cold and her umbrella, that apparently wasn't enough to keep her dry, she walked to the street in the hope to find a shop nearby, to warm herself and her protection officers, that were having the same troubles as she was. As she was about to exit the gates of the school someone placed an hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump. She turned to find herself face to face with James, who was holding an umbrella that was dealing with the rain way better that hers.

"Hey," he smiled. "Sorry, uh, I saw you were struggling and I... Thought I could help." He proceeded by covering Victoria's head with the umbrella.

"Thanks..." Victoria replied. She was now sure the officers knew about him, as they hadn't tried to catch him or anything, yet. No one could approach her unless it was someone they knew - a member of her family, a professor from the school, her classmates. "I... I appreciate that." She added.

James nodded. "I'm glad you do."

Suddenly, Victoria noticed how shy James looked in that moment. Maybe she had judged him too quickly.

"Where are we heading to? Kensington Palace?" James asked.

The Palace was less than ten minutes away by foot from her school, and usually Victoria would walk home from school with Louise or another friend. That day, though, Louise's classes ended earlier and she had already left, and majority of the other students were being driven home by their parents.

"Yeah, Kensington Palace," Victoria nodded. Then, all of a sudden, words left her mouth before she could stop them. "Why are you in my class?"

James was a bit taken aback by the question. He stared at her, then sighed. "You mean why did I appear all of a sudden?"

"Mh, yeah."

"Well it was a try. Only for today. You won't see me again, I promise."

Victoria didn't expect that. She was a bit disappointed. "How so?"

"A gentleman has his secrets," James offered her his elbow to grab. "But I was wondering if maybe we could still make our way home together? I suppose I'll be around KP for a while..."

The girl was left a bit interdicted. "How did you call it?"

"What?" James asked.

"How did you call it again? Kensington Palace - what did you say?" She suddenly stopped, and James did, too.

"Mh, KP? Why?"

"Only our workers call it KP. How... How did you know?" She started walking again, slowly, and James followed.

"I don't know. Mum calls it like that, I just thought..." He left the conversion dying. "It doesn't matter."

They walked silently for a few more minutes, then they reached the gates of Kensington Palace, and made their way inside.

Princess Victoria spotted with friend in London

Princess Victoria of Cambridge, 17, was seen earlier today walking in London together with a friend. The Princess seemed quite in a good relationship with the boy, who remains unidentified but is likely to be a classmate of the young royal, as he was seen wearing the school uniform. Under pouring rain, they were seen smiling and laughing with each other and the young boy accompanied her all the way from the Princess's private school to Kensington Palace, holding the umbrella for them both.
Is not often that a member of the royal family is spotted walking with a friend and given the young age of the Princess, it's been speculated that the boy could be her boyfriend.
It is the first time that the boy is seen with a member of the royal family and he doesn't seem to be a son of anyone who is in the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's inner circle of friends, nor in Prince Harry's.
