Today was a new day, and today all sixteen St Teresa students decided to spend the whole day at the beach, because if your in Thailand and you haven't gone to the beach, are you really in Thailand then?

Everyone was enjoying themselves at the beach, well nearly everyone. 

"Rajat have you seen Shanaya anywhere?" Abhi asked, looking around the beach but not seeing Shanaya anywhere.

"Nope" Rajat said, "Ask Rhea, she will probably know".

"I'm not asking Rhea" Abhi stated.

"Why not?" Rajat asked frowning.

"Rajat me and Shanaya might be talking again, but Rhea still refuses to talk to me, she hates me" Abhi explained.

"She doesn't hate you Abhi".

"Yes she does".

"No she doesn't, your being ridiculous" Rajat said, "Come with me, I'm going to solve this dispute once and for all".

Rajat took Abhi to where Rhea was standing, waiting for her other three friends.

"Rhea" Rajat said, hugging her, "You look beautiful today".

"When do I not" Rhea teased.

Rajat laughed at Rhea's response, "Rhea, Abhi here was wondering where Shanaya is, he was to scared to ask you, he thinks you hate him".

"He isn't wrong there" Rhea said, glaring at Abhi, who refused to look at her.

"What?" Rajat asked shocked.

"You heard me Rajat" Rhea said, "I hate Abhi, just because Shanaya has forgiven him, doesn't mean I will, I've seen how hurt she was, I've seen how broken she was because of him, and I will never forgive him for that, and you Abhi, don't ever ask me where Shanaya is, because if it was up to me I would never let you and Shanaya meet, because I know you will just keep hurting her over and over again".

"Rhea.."

"Bye Rajat" Rhea said, leaving Abhi and Rajat alone and going towards Rohan and Jeet, who had heard everything.

"Wow my feisty queen wow" Jeet teased, making Rohan and Rhea laugh.

"Just shut up Jeet".

"Seriously Rhea, you impress me more everyday" Rohan said, side hugging Rhea. 

"Oh hello, stick to Shanaya, stop going for other girls" Jeet teased.

"Excuse me?" Rohan said, glaring at Jeet. 

"His right Rohan, you need to stay with Shanaya, and nobody else" Rhea teased, high fiving Jeet.

"I can't stay with Shanaya, if I don't even know where she is" Rohan replied.

"She's completing your challenge" Rhea replied, making Rohan smile, he knew Shanaya would complete his challenge, he might of told Shanaya he didn't believe in her, but in his heart he knew Shanaya was capable of doing anything she puts her mind to. 

"What challenge?" Jeet asked confused. 

"Rohan here said to Shanaya that she could never a bikini, so Shanaya took it upon herself to prove him wrong".

"What!" Abhi yelled, coming to where Rohan, Jeet and Rhea were standing, "What the hell is wrong with Rohan, you hurt Shanaya's feelings".

"Oh fuck off Abhi" Rhea said, "Rohan didn't hurt Shanaya's feelings, he is pushing Shanaya past her limits, he is teaching her how to live life, something you failed to do".

"Rhea enough is enough!" Rajat said, "You need to shut your fucking mouth!".

Hearing Rajat, Rhea was shocked, he never spoke to her like this before. Seeing Rhea's face, Jeet stood in front of her and faced Rajat, "You need to mind your tongue when talking to Rhea".

"You and your best friend need to stop interfering in mine and Abhi's life" Rajat retorted.

While Rajat and Jeet were arguing, they failed to see Shanaya, but Rohan had, and once he looked at her he couldn't tear his eyes away.

"Shanaya" Rohan said, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Where?" Jeet asked.

"There" Rhea said pointing to Shanaya, who was at the coastline of the beach playing with the water.

Rohan and Abhi both could not take their eyes off of Shanaya, she was wearing a yellow bikini, with a yellow scarf tied around her lower stomach, the scarf covered Shanaya's bikini bottom, but it didn't cover Shanaya's legs, it left a lot to imagination, but at the same it didn't. She looked hot but at the same she looked extremely innocent.

"Shanaya!" Rhea yelled, catching Shanaya's attention, "Come here!".

"Coming!" Shanaya yelled back, making her way to where the group was standing, "Hey guys".

"Hey" Everyone replied, except for Abhi and Rohan, they were to speechless to speak, they could no longer form any words in their mouth.

"Ro close your mouth, otherwise flies will make it their personal home" Jeet teased.

Rohan ignored Jeet, it was like no one except Shanaya existed in his world, "Shanaya, you look, I mean, you, wow".

"Looks like the cat got your tongue" Rhea teased.

"Maybe" Rohan said subconsciously, still looking at Shanaya, who blushed at Rohan's intense gaze.

"Shanaya why are you wearing this?" Abhi asked, though Shanaya looked extremely beautiful, Abhi did not like other guys looking at her, by other guys he meant Rohan.

"Abhi someone said I can't wear a bikini, so I decided to prove them wrong" Shanaya said, the whole time staring at Rohan, who was staring right back at her. 

"Shanaya but you don't suit a bikini, you look horrible in it, don't take stupid challenges without realising how stupid it makes you look" Abhi lied, not realising once again because of his hatred for Rohan, he hurt Shanaya. 

Abhi's words brought Rohan out of his Shanaya trance, he could stare at Shanaya forever, but right now he needed to teach the person who always underestimated Shanaya a lesson, "And how do you know whats right and whats wrong for Shanaya?".

"Rohan.." Shanaya goes to speak, but Rhea holds her hand and signals her to stay quiet.

"Who do you think you are?" Rohan said pushing Abhi, making him stumble backwards, "Are you her father?" Push, "Are you her brother?", Push, "Who the hell are you to say what Shanaya should or should not do".

"Rohan!" Abhi yelled, lifting his hand to punch Rohan, but failed when Shanaya held his hand preventing him from hitting Rohan, she was protecting Rohan, like he always protected her.

"Abhi don't you dare hit him" Shanaya said, standing in front of Rohan.

"But Shanaya.."

"No Abhi, I'm sick and tired of this rivalry between you two, I'm sick of you always hurting me, underestimating me Abhi, and I'm sick of Rohan always needing to protect me from you, my so called best friend" Shanaya said, "I'm tired with this Abhi, I'm leaving, and no one, I mean no one is to follow me".

"Shanaya.." Rohan goes to stop Shanaya.

"Its okay Rohan, I'll be fine, I'm not upset I promise, just need to be alone for sometime, and if I'm not fine your Shanaya senses will let you know" Shanaya said, giving Rohan a small smile.

"Please be careful" Rohan said, not wanting to let Shanaya go alone, but he knew she needed some alone time.

"I will" Shanaya said leaving.

After Shanaya left, Rhea started clapping, "Congrats Abhimanyu Singh, congrats, you have once again ruined a perfect moment, we are here to have fun, but as long as your here thats never happening".

"Rhea stop, I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth against Abhi" Rajat said firmly.

"No you stop Rajat, stop supporting your best friend despite knowing his wrong!" Rhea yelled, "Actually you know what, you can stay with your best friend, I will leave, I don't want anything to do with you".

"Rhea" Rajat said shocked.

"Don't Rhea me Rajat" Rhea said, "I can't be with someone who supports the wrong people!".

"Rhea don't break up with Rajat because of me, this isn't his fault" Abhi pleaded. 

"This ones not on you Abhi, this ones all on Rajat, for the rest of this holiday I don't want to see your face Rajat Mridul" Rhea said, and with that Rhea left leaving behind a devastated Rajat.

"Rhea!" Jeet said, running after her to make sure she was okay. 

Seeing as he couldn't follow Shanaya, Rohan decided to follow Rhea and comfort her, Rhea was also very important to Rohan, maybe not as much as Shanaya, but she was still important. 

*****

"Jeet stop poking my fucking face" Rhea said, slapping Jeet's hand.

"I'm just checking Rhea" Jeet said, sitting next to Rhea, on hers and Shanaya's shared bed. 

"Checking what?" Rhea asked annoyed. 

"I'm checking to see if your really a girl" Jeet replied, confusing Rhea.

"Did your best friend fall on the floor as a baby?" Rhea asked Rohan, who was lying on Shanaya's side of the bed, laughing at Jeet and Rhea's antics.

"Not that I know of" Rohan replied.

"Oh come on, you have to admit Rohan shes not acting like a typical girl".

"That I agree with" Rohan said, nodding his head in agreement. 

"What do you both mean?" Rhea said, getting frustrated with the two best friends. 

"Whenever a girl goes through a break up she cries so much, she watches so many shitty romance movies, eats a ton of ice cream, doesn't shower, has messy hair, and just overall acts like the worlds ending" Jeet explained, making Rohan laugh, "But your here, planning for the next day, laughing, definitely not crying, no one could even tell you have just gone through a break up".

Before Rhea could reply to Jeet, Shanaya barged into the room, "Rhea!".

"Shanaya" Rhea said shocked, "What happened, I thought you wanted to be left alone?".

"You broke up with Rajat?" Shanaya asked shocked.

"Of course you told her" Rhea said, glaring at Rohan, who just shrugged in response. 

"You won't going to tell me?" Shanaya asked shocked.

"Of course I was going to tell you Shanaya, but I also know your ass, and I know you will feel guilty, so I was preparing my speech before telling you" Rhea explained. 

"You were preparing a speech to tell Shanaya you broke up with Rajat?" Rohan asked, looking at Rhea in amusement.

"Not only for Shanaya but also for both of you" Rhea explained. 

"But we already know you and Rajat broke up, we were there" Jeet said. 

"I was preparing a speech to explain to you guys why I broke up with Rajat, but now it looks like I'm going to have to say it without a speech" Rhea said, pacing back and forth.

"Rhea..."

"Shanaya sit down" Rhea ordered.

Shanaya sat down on her bed in between Jeet and Rohan, all three looking at Rhea with worry. 

"Okay so here goes nothing" Rhea said, "I don't want to be in a relationship with Rajat any more".

"We gathered that much" Rohan said.

"But Rhea you love Rajat" Shanaya said.

"Thats the thing Shanaya, I don't love him anymore" Rhea said, sitting on the floor.

"What?" Jeet asked.

"Rhea your going to have to say more than that for us to understand" Rohan said.

"Rhea relax" Shanaya said, sliding on the floor and sitting in front of Rhea, "Just speak your heart out, we are listening to everything you say, no judgements".

"Shanaya when me and Rajat first got into a relationship it was everything I had ever dreamed of, it was amazing, it was like a fairytale relationship, but as time went on, our relationship went downhill, there was so many fights, disagreements, I felt suffocated in that relationship, but I was to scared to get out of it, and the one month away from him, was honestly the best month, I found myself again, you guys helped me become the old Rhea, the Rhea that was buried under the burden of the relationship, Jeet helped bring out the jokester Rhea, Rohan helped bring out the sarcastic Rhea, you Shanaya helped bring out the caring Rhea, who once stopped caring because of a toxic relationship" Rhea said, now crying.

By the time Rhea had finished, she wasn't the only one crying, Shanaya was also crying, and both Jeet and Rohan had tears in their eyes after listening to Rhea's story, "But why did you not say anything, why did you let Shanaya reunite you and Rajat, why go back to a toxic relationship Rhea?" Jeet asked.

"Because Rajat isn't a bad guy Jeet, its just our relationship that was toxic, not only for me, but also for him, a month apart both me and Shanaya changed because of you two, so I thought maybe the old Rhea wasn't capable of maintaining a proper relationship, so I decided to give it another chance, hoping this time it will work out, but it was way worse this time, so as soon as I saw a chance to end things with him I ended them, I couldn't be with him anymore, I just couldn't, Rajat was once my first love, but now being with him hurts beyond words" Rhea said, now crying uncontrollably.

"You know what Rhea, no more Rajat, no more Abhi, us two only need these two idiots and each other" Shanaya said, wiping Rhea's tears and hugging her.

"Who needs bad assholes when you have such good assholes" Jeet said, joining Shanaya and Rhea's hug, "Your my best friend Rhea, if you look at it in the technical way, you were my first friend, because I was Rohan's follower before you and Shanaya helped us both become friends, but before that we became friends, and I love you Rhea, even though at times you are very unreasonable and annoying". 

Jeet's comment made Rhea laugh, making everyone smile, "There's that smile we all love, you don't need Rajat or any guy to make you happy Rhea, and don't think your not capable of a relationship, any guy would be lucky to have you, and its Rajat's bad luck he missed out on such a nice girl".

"Jeet's right Rhea, your an amazing girl, your the sister I always wanted to have but didn't have, honestly I hated you before, but now I tolerate you" Rohan said hugging Rhea, and making her laugh "Don't ever change yourself for anyone, your perfect the way you are, and honestly me and Jeet are the only two guys you and Shanaya need in your life".

"But you guys piss me off all the time" Rhea mumbled in the hug.

"Deal with it" Rohan said.

"Us four are inseparable now, fuck everyone else" Jeet said.

"Rhea on second thoughts, let's run away from these two, what say?" Shanaya teased.

"I love the idea" Rhea replied, laughing.

"We are never letting you two go!" Rohan and Jeet yelled simultaneously, hugging the girls tightly.

***** 

After Rhea broke up with him, Rajat went straight to his and Abhi's shared hotel room, and was now standing on the balcony, staring straight ahead, with no emotion on his face. 

"I don't want anything to do with your best friend or you".

"I can't be with someone who supports the wrong people".

"This ones all on Rajat, for the rest of this holiday I don't want to see your face Rajat Mridul".

While Rajat was lost in his thoughts, Abhi quietly came and stood next to him, "Rajat I'm sorry man, I'm really really sorry, because of me Rhea broke up with you, please forgive me".

"Don't apologise Abhi, this isn't your fault" Rajat said, still staring ahead, "This is all on Jeet and Rohan, this is there fault".

"Jeet and Rohan?".

"Yeah Abhi, in this past month both the best friends brainwashed Rhea and Shanaya, while Rohan brainwashed Shanaya against us, Jeet brainwashed my Rhea" Rajat said, hatred clearly shown in his voice, "You have been right this whole time Abhi, those two assholes are taking Shanaya and Rhea away from us, they took my Rhea from me Abhi!". 

"Welcome to the club" Abhi said, staring at the same direction as Rajat.

"We are not giving up Abhi" Rajat said with determination in his voice, "We are not going down without a fight".

"Wasn't planning on it anyways" Abhi replied, "Now not only Rohan but also Jeet needs to leave our lives".

"And we will make sure that happens, one way or another".
