"Well...I've always wanted to be a police officer," Bishop said after a moment. Ever since his bully-hunting days back in middle school, his ultimate dream had been to don that blue uniform, get behind the wheels of a genuine patrol car, and protect good citizens everywhere. Okay, so maybe...

Bishop leaned against the wall, idly tapping his foot to the beat of the music, as he waited for their song to come on. In his idleness, he attempted to wrap his head around the idea that senior year was almost over. It seemed as though it had been, if not yesterday, then some very short time ago th...

Bishop paused as the song came to its conclusion. It had been awhile since he'd had that much fun. Dancing was one of the pleasures in life that he enjoyed the most, doubly so with a girl. Triple, perhaps even quadruple that amount of said girl knows how to either dance or follow. And Tiffany was, t...

Stepping into the prom hall, Bishop immediately recognized the song blasting out of the speakers. Oh man, he thought, laughing to himself as he rolled his eyes. Even at the prom I'm not safe from that song. Letting his eyes wander around the room, he surveyed the interior of the hall. He had to admi...

Nodding happily, Bishop popped open the driver's-side door and stepped out of the sweet ride. Humming Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" to himself, he made his way around the back of the car to the passenger seat. Opening the door for her, he held out his hand to Tiffany. "Shall I escort yo...

((Andrew Bishop White continued from Roses Without Thorns )) Well, here it is, Bishop thought silently to himself, as he pulled his sleek silver convertible Mercedes-Benz (which his mother had been so charitable as to lend him for the night) into a parking space. Adjusting his sharp black suit, he l...

"Ummm, so...there's something I was meaning to ask you, but I never got a chance." Bishop blinked quizzically as his friend spoke. Something she was meaning to ask him? His curiosity piqued, he listened intently. "I don't see you around too much nowadays, since you don't stay at chur...

Bishop nodded at Brook's suggestion. "Lilacs with a few foxglove mixed in. Got it." He'd never heard of foxglove before. He pondered what this mysterious flower looked like as Brook give his parting remarks and make his exit. Waving to the boy, Bishop called out after him. "Thanks for...

Bishop shook Brook's hand, cracking a light grin at the comment about his name. "Pleasure." So this kid went to Bayview too. Bishop pondered about what a small world he seemed to live in, as Brook gushed to Tiffany about flower arrangements. He sure was enthusiastic about helping her. He s...

((sorry for the short half-assed post, being off in England has kinda temporarily killed my creativity and my ability to stay awake for more than 12 hours without feeling tired as hell)) Bishop turned his head as a boy around his age interjected into the conversation. Was he an employee? He sounded ...

Bishop watched silently as the scene unfolded. It appeared as though the...whatever had just happened, with that other girl had been sorted out, and Tiffany was now chatting with one of the employees. Suddenly, Bishop swerved his head as Tiffany's hand flew through the air, arcing within a few centi...

Charlie waved to Natalie as she climbed into her sister's car. "No problem. See you later, Nat." Standing there with his hands stuck in the pockets of his green jacket, he watched as Natalie's car sped away and disappeared from the parking lot. "...Well...guess I'd better start making...

"Bishop, actually," he corrected her in his mind. He preferred to go by his middle name. There were countless Andrews in the world, but how many boys did you come across who went by the name Bishop? Aside from that one android from "Aliens," but then again...y'know, he was an an...

The sound of hundreds of blended conversations resonated all around Bishop as he slowly weaved his way through the crowds of mall-goers. Keeping his hands buried into the pockets of his khaki pants, he hummed an old hymn to himself as his eyes wandered across the plethora of stores lining the walls....

((Charlie Beckwith continued from The Alibi )) Charlie walked alongside Natalie as they made their way through the parking lot, their footsteps echoing through the large complex. He didn't really need to be there; he walked to and from work. But he figured if Natalie was going to be hanging around f...
