Russian roulette || James Earl Of Wessex

| THE PRESS |

Isabella

I woke up the next morning feeling a bit anxious. I was worried what the press was going to put out. I walked downstairs to see my older brother already eating.

"Dobroye utro"

(good morning)

He said with a mouth full of food.

"utro Alexei"

(morning alexei)

I walked over to the counter where he was sitting and looked down. I saw a magazine with letters on the front. 'Princess Isabella of Russia and James Earl of Wessex' oh God. I picked it up and looked at the first few pages. It was a couple of photos of us shaking hands and making eye contact. I read some of the articles that were inside.

'Princess Isabella of Russia and James Earl of Wessex were caught staring at one another during the funeral of the Tsar'

Shit. This was worse than I thought. A lot worse. Everyone is going to think there's something going on. I heard a laugh from my brother. I looked up to see him smirking.

"ty ne govoril mne, chto u tebya yest' paren', Bella"

(you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend bella)

I gave him an annoyed look. Mama and papa are going to be concerned. I took the magazine back to my room and decided to hide it in my closet.

It's been a couple of days and i go back to school soon. The magazine about James and I is still pretty popular in Europe. I still couldn't believe that someone made that article about us. I was honestly embarrassed to go back to school. After that article I know people will have questions.

I was laying in bed when I got a call from Carolina. Carolina and I were close. Most people at school didn't like her too much at first. When school first started I was one of the only people that talked to her which is why she's now one of my best friends. I answered her facetime and as soon as i did i saw her slightly smirking at me.

"Who's james?" she asked. I had a feeling this was coming. "He's no one," I replied. "He's a British boy," she said fastly. "You never told me about him! What's going on between you two"

"Nothing! I only shook his hand....i've seen him a few times before but that's it"

I said and she didn't look convinced. "That article said you two have been staring at each other," she said. "Not true, we made eye contact twice. That's it"

"You should talk to him next time you see him, he's cute and I can see you guys together," she said. Carolina can be crazy sometimes. She can also be boy crazy sometimes. Carolina has dated many guys in the past and she definitely knows when a guy is cute or not. So I guess she's right.
