Not sure about Georgie Hill and Dominik Szabo because he's rather extremely attached and perhaps this entire thing with the girl is a part of deep emotional issues that appeared because of his parents' divorce and his brother's relationships and the fact that both Georgie and Dominik see other people and one of them is an impossibility for dating. At least Georgie likes Audrey.

Detailed Information
Physical Description
James Driscoll currently stands around 5'9", but he has growing yet to do. Unlike his brother, he has dark brown hair and a slightly darker complexion, like his father, but the pale blue eyes and elegant nose of his mother. His hair is thick and, if he ever grew it out, would be quite curly.
As he models on occasion, his build is slim and lean. But as he doesn't exactly work out just yet, he has no real muscle definition to speak of.
James appears about a year or two younger than he really is.
Personal Information
James is quiet and observant at first glance. He tends to be a bit of a wallflower and doesn't respond well to awkward situations. But underneath the surface there is a layer not many people get to see. A flirt, a tease, a coy little sexual addict who delights very much in taming older men and enticing boys his age. Most of what he does is fueled by his resentment for the break in his family. He holds grudges and rarely lets them go and can have very angry outbursts.
As far as interests go, James is an incredibly skilled classically trained pianist, and he does model from time to time.
Backstory
Like Avery, James was put in many, many activities before he found his niche. He was close to his older brother from the time he was an infant and being carried haphazardly about the house by a two year old Avery. Their closeness meant that James really didn't expand his friendships during school, even when Avery left for Eton in 2001.
However, James didn't respond well to his brother's sudden disappearance from his life. He missed him very much and hoped that one day they'd both be at school together. Claire told him that they most likely would, and ten year old James slowly got over his initial shock.
But as Avery's problems, which were mostly kept from the children, started openingly affecting his parents' relationship, James began to get angrier. Quietly angry. He was still shy, but by the time Avery had left Eton, it was James's turn. He stayed in London with Avery, Jake Griffith and Jack Dickon. By the time James was half way through his term, he realized something rather startling: he was very much attracted to the boys around him.
He even acquired a boyfriend.
After talking to Avery and their mum about it, James slowly warmed up to his "new" sexuality and became more relaxed with intimacy. Too relaxed. He had strings of short little flings and became good friends with an older Etonian boy, Georgie Hill.
But when his parents divorced, James blamed Avery, outwardly telling him he hated him and their mother and refusing to see either of them before going back to school. He slept with people out of spite and when their family traveled to Jamaica in the summer of 2006, he met two boys. Rhygin Dawes and Dominik Szabo. He stayed in touch with Rhygin, but with Dominik, a man (and vampire) twelve ears his senior, their romantic involvement was no simple thing. They had continuous and passionate affair. Neither was in love with the other, but James had become attached to him and when Dominik went back to London, James resented him for it, not speaking to him for weeks and weeks.
He has no idea where he will fall. Georgie is the closest thing to a proper boyfriend and he loves being with him, due to the simplicity of their relationship. But Dominik is the danger that James always seems to find himself in.
Considering that James was kidnapped for a short time by an unknown person, danger seems to have become some intrinsic part of his daily routine.
In 2007, he met the daughter of one of Claire's old friends (Ellen). She danced at the Lower School with Bess, but was in the highest class (she's presently about to turn sixteen). Unlike the other two regular relationships in James' life, Audrey is very stable, simple individual. She's far shorter, far more innocent, and much like her gentle mother. That she's probably going to be in the middle of a complicated situation is rather unfair to her, but she adores James.
Backstory: Simplified
