They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 494: Making Memories

Nnenna watched them go, her heart finally slowing.

Crisis averted... but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry. What exactly had caused such a deep crack between two people so close?

Her eyes were drawn back to the small crowd, many of whom looked disappointed that the show had ended, though not everyone shared that sentiment. Some people looked concerned for the twins.

Nnenna wasn’t sure what had triggered the twins’ outburst, but one thing was clear: she didn’t want them trending for the wrong reasons.

"Love System," she said quietly. "Please wipe all photos and videos from everyone’s phones. I can’t let those girls go through any kind of social media trauma."

"Understood," the system replied. "It will cost you 3,000 Good Points."

Nnenna sighed. Her Good Points were slipping away faster than ever lately. But this? This was worth it.

"Do it," she said firmly.

Ding!

"3,000 good points deducted!"

A strange pulse shimmered through the air, soft, barely noticeable to the normal eye. But what followed was impossible to miss.

A ripple of shock spread through the crowd as people began checking their phones, their eyes widening in disbelief.

"Wait—what the heck? Where’s the video I just took?" one guy blurted out, tapping furiously at his screen. "It was right here, I just recorded it!" noveldrama

"Mine’s gone too!" a girl gasped, scrolling through her gallery like a madwoman. "I swear I got the perfect angle! It just... vanished!"

"Bro, did my phone just glitch or what?" another muttered, staring blankly at his now empty video folder. "I was gonna post that online... What just happened?"

A group of students huddled together, checking each other’s phones in disbelief. One even tried restarting hers, but the result was the same, nothing. No pictures. No videos.

"Is this some kind of prank?" someone whispered. "Like... a system wipe?"

"No way. My phone’s brand new! And why would it only erase that video?" another pointed out, brows furrowed.

An eerie hush began to spread as panic turned into unease. It wasn’t just one person. Everyone who had taken a picture or video of the fight was affected.

The murmurs grew louder, a mix of disbelief and quiet fear creeping into their voices.

"Yo, this is creepy," someone said, backing away. "It’s like... the universe didn’t want us to record that."

"Or someone powerful made sure we didn’t," another muttered, casting a wary glance at the direction the twins left from.

Phones clutched tight, glances were exchanged, and suspicion filled the air. Whatever just happened, it wasn’t normal.

And it left everyone wondering... Who, or what, just erased their phone recent memories?

Nnenna scanned the crowd, a quiet smile tugging at her lips. Satisfaction bloomed in her chest like a secret flower.

No photos. No videos. Just confused stares and scattered whispers.

As the old saying went, if it wasn’t caught on camera, it never happened.

The twins were safe now. No trending hashtags, no humiliating clips, no online mockery waiting to explode. Just rumors and half baked retellings that would fade in time.

Mission accomplished.

She exhaled softly, the tension in her shoulders easing. But while her eyes drifted across the stunned crowd, she missed the way Emily was watching her, eyes narrowed ever so slightly, her mind clearly turning over questions she hadn’t yet asked.

There was something in Nnenna’s relief... something a little too deliberate. A little too... off.

Before Emily could say a word, Nnenna’s voice cut through the air, smooth and light.

"Let’s go back," she said, already turning away from the crowd. "You still need to study in the library, and I’ve got to meet Carl."

Emily blinked, pulled out of her thoughts.

"Right," she replied slowly, still watching Nnenna’s retreating form.

Something wasn’t adding up... but for now, she followed.

A few weeks slipped by quietly after the dramatic street scene.

Today marked the beginning of the first semester exams, and Nnenna woke up feeling more than ready.

If someone handed her a Year Two paper right now, she could write it blindfolded and still score at least a 90%. That’s how confident she was.

Arthur, Carl, Hannah, and Somto were all wrapping up their Year Two lessons. In a few weeks, they would officially be diving into Year Three content. Time was flying, and Nnenna was soaring with it.

After breakfast, Somto surprised her by insisting on driving her to school. He didn’t say it out loud, of course, but he just wanted to be with her a little longer.

Sure, he believed the exam would be a breeze for her. But deep down, what mattered more was sharing this small moment, her very first exam at Omniora Academy.

A milestone.

A memory.

"Are you ready?" Somto asked with a neutral look as he opened the car door for her.

Nnenna smirked. "I’ve already crushed it in my sleep."

He smiled and shook his head. "Show off."

But he meant it fondly.

Ava was thinking the exact same thing, about making memories, even though she had no idea Somto was having the same quiet thoughts.

She felt this was one of those moments that needed to be captured. Something they could look back on and smile. So she pulled Nnenna aside, insisting on taking a few pictures before they left.

Somto didn’t complain.

In fact, he shamelessly made sure he got in a few shots with Nnenna too, standing close and flashing his rare, camera small smile. Ava rolled her eyes but didn’t stop him. She saw right through him.

Once the photoshoot was over, the trio hopped into the car. Somto drove calmly, his one hand relaxed on the wheel, the other occasionally tapping against the steering in rhythm with the soft music playing in the background.

In the backseat, Ava and Nnenna flipped open their notes.

Well... Nnenna flipped open her notes. Ava just leaned in with full attention, eyes wide, as her genius friend casually revised out loud like she was reciting the alphabet.
