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

Chapter 492: That was a First

“I didn’t have the courage to ask for full training before because I thought I would just be an inconvenience. But if you could just give me a few extra pointers while teaching Nnenna, I would be super grateful!”

Hannah paused, considering the request. Emily seemed close to Nnenna, like a loyal friend. And anyone who stayed that close to someone like Nnenna couldn’t possibly be a bad person.

With that thought, her expression softened, and a small smile tugged at her lips.

“There’s no need to pay me,” she said. “It’ll be easy to guide you both since we’ll be training together anyway.”

Emily’s face lit up with pure joy. She nodded rapidly. “Thank you, Hannah!”

With no time to waste, the three girls got straight into it. Their semester exams were just around the corner, and there was so much to study and practice.

Time was short, but energy was high, and the studio came alive with movement and purpose.

After three full hours, their training session finally came to an end. Hannah let out a quiet sigh of relief, but not the kind that came from exhaustion. No, it was the kind that followed a pleasant surprise.

She had been a little anxious when Somto first asked her to teach Nnenna. She assumed the girl would be a complete novice, and she had mentally prepared herself for a lot of patience and effort.

But to her amazement, Nnenna wasn’t just well trained, she also learned fast. Her movements were graceful, her rhythm natural. It felt less like tutoring and more like dancing alongside someone who shared the same language of movement.

By the end of the session, Hannah wasn’t doing anyone a favor anymore, she was enjoying herself.

“See you tomorrow,” she said with a small wave, her smile lingering as she slipped into the sleek vehicle waiting for her by the curb. In seconds, it disappeared down the road.

Nnenna, who had insisted on walking Hannah to the gate, lingered a bit before turning to head back into the academy with Emily. She still had to meet Carl. But then something caught her eye, something that instantly lifted her spirits.

Across the road, two girls stepped out of a boutique shop, walking side by side. They were identical twins, dressed in matching outfits from head to toe.

Their laughter floated lightly across the street, and their perfect synchronization made the moment feel almost miraculous.

A soft smile curled on Nnenna’s lips.

What a lovely sight.

One of the twins leaned closer and whispered something to her sister, her eyes fixed on Nnenna, who stood across the road near the academy gates. Her expression was one of pure wonder, almost like she was watching a dream come to life.

The other twin followed her gaze, curious, and then paused.

She understood immediately.noveldrama

The girl standing there was stunning. Not just in the way she looked, but in her calm presence, the quiet elegance she carried without even trying. The two exchanged a quick glance before making up their minds.

Without another word, they crossed the road.

Nnenna, still smiling to herself from the earlier sight of them, was surprised when the twins suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Hi!” the bolder one said brightly. “I’m Ella. This is my twin sister, Emma.”

Emma gave a gentle nod, her eyes still shining with quiet admiration.

“We just wanted to say…” Ella hesitated for a heartbeat, then smiled. “We think you’re very beautiful. You caught our attention, and we didn’t want to walk away without telling you.”

Nnenna blinked, momentarily caught off guard. She had been the one admiring them, impressed by how in sync they were, how effortlessly they moved as one. She didn’t expect they had spotted her and had been watching her too.

Her cheeks warmed.

“Thank you,” she said, her voice soft but sincere. “You two are really beautiful as well. I noticed you right away too.”

The twins exchanged a happy glance, clearly delighted by her words.

Nnenna was about to say something else, her smile still lingering, when

Smack!

Emma suddenly struck Ella’s arm.

Hard.

Ella flinched. “Ow—!” she winced, turning to her sister in shock. That actually hurt.

She stared at Emma, utterly confused. Emma wasn’t the type to lash out like this, especially in public.

“What was that for?” she asked, gently rubbing the sore spot. Despite the pain, her voice was calm, patient. She knew Emma well enough to not take the incident to heart. But she still wanted to know what caused it.

Emma crossed her arms, looking away with a small huff. “I wanted to do the introductions,” she said, voice laced with disappointment, her eyes refusing to meet either of theirs.

Ella’s confusion deepened. What?

That was a first.

Emma was always the quieter twin, the one who preferred to stay in the background while Ella did the talking. She had said it herself dozens of times, even pushed Ella forward during awkward moments. And now suddenly… this?

Nnenna watched the exchange, unsure if she should step in or quietly fade back. The energy between the twins had shifted, and she could feel something unspoken brewing beneath the surface.

Ella blinked, still processing. “But… you always let me do the talking. You said you didn’t like it.”

Emma didn’t answer immediately, her lips pressed into a thin line. But her expression gave her away, hurt, jealousy, and something else Nnenna couldn’t quite name flickered across her face like a storm barely held back.

The air grew tense.

Something was definitely going on.

Nnenna stood still, her eyes flicking between the two sisters. Just moments ago, Emma had seemed calm, soft spoken even.

But now, her face was stormy with emotion, her eyes burning with something deeper than just irritation. It didn’t match the impression Nnenna had gotten of her just minutes before.

Emily, who hadn’t left yet and was quietly waiting for Nnenna so they could head back to the academy together, stayed near the gate.
