My System & My Academy of Superpowers

"Hey! How do you know this? This should be between us" I moved closer to her, pointing a finger at her. 

"Sure, take a photo with me then. Nothing will spread,"

"What if I didn't take a photo?"

"I will not spread this information but won't try to hide it either,"

"Oh, you know what, I will kill you right now. No stress of my information going out,"

"Oh damn, I was kidding. Calm down, let me request you something…."

"Good, do it"

"Mr. Ryan… will you please take a photo with me in this beautiful garden so that I can keep it as my mobile background?"

"Don't do it. I'll let you take a photo with me but don't put it as your background. And… this will be the last time you take a photo with me"

"Sounds good to me. Let's do it then"

"You look for a good place to take a photo, tell me how to pose for the photo," 

"Cool," She grabbed my hand pulled me to the middle of the garden, "Here" She stopped. I stopped beside her. 

She pulled her mobile, opened the camera. 

"Ryan, come closer, don't smile a bit, and can you do a victory sign?"

I did just as she told me to. I bent down a little to match her height. She pulled the mobile camera in front of us. I did just as she told me to. I bent down a little to match her height. She pulled the mobile camera in front of us. Then she leaned against my head, her head was leaning against mine.

I said nothing as it was for the photo's purpose. She gave a bright smile, her pink lips spread across her face. 

'Strange. This girl doesn't have any make-up on… she is not making weird faces while taking a selfie either,'

"Ryan~ cheese!" I was not supposed to smile, but when she said that my lips spread on instincts. She moved away, I moved away. 

"That is it, right? I will be going to my room then" I was about to walk out of the garden.

"Uh, wait. This photo didn't come out well, we gotta retake it. I told you not to smile but you still smiled in this one"

"As I thought. That's cause you said 'cheese"

"I said that to make sure you know I am clicking the picture, I didn't want you to smile, let's retake this"

"Seriously?" 

"Retake please! If you hate taking a photo that much for the second time then do as the photographer tell you the first time"

"Fine, fine. Let's do it" I came back to the position. There were trees, beautiful trees behind us. Different colored lights were shining behind us. I am not so fond of photography. I am not so fond of taking photos either, I seem to lost my sense of fashion and design but if you still ask me, then I would say this background was perfect for a photo.

"It's surprising you know..."

"What is?" She asked me.

"You are a girl but still you don't have make-up on"

"Haha, you don't know my Trait do you?" I shook my head.

"What's your Trait?"

"It's underwater breathing. How will my make-up stay on my face if all I do is go underwater? Hahaha!" 

"That makes sense. While taking selfies, you don't make faces as pout or kiss like other girls"

"That's because when I am underwater I have to breathe through my mouth, inhaling and exhaling through my mouth cause my Trait is not evolved yet to let me breathe through my nose underwater, I pout when I take oxygen inside which makes my cheek hurt, that's the reason why I don't make faces"

"Wow..." 

"Come here, give the pose I told you to" I pulled my two fingers near my face. She pulled her mobile, "Don't smile if I said chess this time"

"Yes ma'am" I sighed. Took my pose. 

"Ryan~"

'Here it comes. I don't have to smile

"Cheese!" 

"Hemp-"

"Ahh..." she pulled her lips away from my cheek, "I didn't tell you to widen your eyes did I? We gotta retake this again, geez" 

"W- what was..."

"Bye!" She started running away.

"Hey! What happened to the photo?"

She stopped. Turned half of her head, she was looking at me with one eye over her shoulder, "Don't need it. I got something more than what I asked for. You are better off with a smile" 

She ran away, disappeared into the cafeteria. I was standing there thinking about what just happened. 

'Was that… a kiss?' I wondered, 'But no that was on my cheek… her lips did touch my oral commissures, and the border of my lips… but she just kept her lips on my cheek that will not be considered as a kiss...'

Yep. she didn't take a picture the second time. It was just her trap to steal a kiss from me. I would not consider it as my first kiss. More than half of her lips were on my cheek, only a little part touched the border of my lips. It startled me a lot, she asked for a photo then suddenly took a kiss on 'cheese' 

Just what in the hell?

I brought my hand to my cheek. I walked out of the garden, I glanced around the cafeteria, she was not there. But Cheryl surely was. My legs took me to her unconsciously. 

"Huh… see who do we have here..." one of the girls taunted me. 

"Say what do you want, Ryan Walker?" Cheryl at last stood up from her chair. 

"Uh, you are Cheryl right?"

"I sure am. Say what do you want quickly" she seemed pissed for some reason at me. But I had done nothing harmful to her! 

"Uhm, Taylor Jane is from your-"

"Yes, she's from my unit. What do you need with her?"

"Where is she?" I gained my confidence to talk back after Cheryl talked to me like that. 

"Why?"

"We have some unfinished business,"

"I don't know what your business with her is. But," she moved closer to me, one leg forward, another behind her waist. She was wearing a mini skirt with a white top, "Don't you dare try hitting on her. I will kill you if you did something to her," She pointed a finger at me.
