The Lost Souls

Reunion

"Wait....is that Vedha and Krish at the other side of the pond?" Ethan asked and pointed towards two moving figures near the pond.

"I may sound a little selfish but can we first go to the water..... I mean.... I'm just very very thirsty." Sapna gave her suggestion.
Everyone kept thinking what to do; go further and see whether its Vedha or quench their thirst.

"Hmm.... I don't know about you guys but I'm going to drink the water." Akshay raised his hands and excused himself from there. But he stopped midway and asked everyone if they wanted to come or not, instead of replying everyone stood still.

"Oh come on. We're not even sure if its her and if we can see her from here then it means that even she can see us from there. And if she sees us, I'm sure she'll come here. But... We are walking from such a long distance and we ran out of water an hour ago....so...." he explained himself and half of them hummed in response.

Slowly everyone started moving towards the pond when they heard some noise. One of the moving figures which the group had spotted was running wild and fast. It seemed like it was waving their hands. Everyone was confused. They were so tired from the continuous walk that their brains were unable to comprehend what was going around them. Ria sqiunted her eyes and tried to magnify the running person.
"I think its her." she said out loud.
"What if its some people who were lost here just like us and they are happy because they saw us?" Evan said that quickly.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him which made him frown and Ethan just patted on his back and said "Atleast you tried."

"Why is it running so weird?" asked Ananya.
"I think that because of the weird running, its Vedha and why are we getting happy for that spoilsport?" Shanaya scoffed.

"Don't act as if this is all happening because of her." Sapna said to her.

"Oh! So this is happening because of us?" Shanaya asked disbelieved.

"Yes. No one was forced to be here. It was everyone's decision. This is happening because all of us decided to come here." Sumedh turned back to her and gave an instant reply.

"Yeah...all this is happening because of us." Ethan also spoke.

"All because of us? Really? This is not happening because of us...this is happening because of Vedha." Ananya roared in anger.

"Wha.." Sumedh opened his mouth.

"Yes." Shanaya yelled.

"Yes....this is happening because of your best friend, as she doesn't even know how to swim." she said while pointing towards Ria.
"This is happening because her new friends wanted to save her at any cost." now she waved her hand towards
Sid and Akshay.
"This is happening because Mr. Romeo had sudden bursts of emotions and wanted his eye candy by his side anyhow so he forced everyone to search for her." her voice rosed while pointing her finger towards Sumedh.

"ENOUGH!" Sumedh yelled. His anger was boiling hot and those green eyes just showed that.
If it wasn't Shanaya but someone else; Sumedh would've half-murdered that person till now.
"Don't. Cross. Your. Limits. Miss Shanaya." Sumedh tried to control himself.
Shanaya kept quite, the angry look of Sumedh was enough for that. She looked at everyone and they were all disappointed. Ananya crept behind her and held her by shoulders.
"See...this is why we didn't join you guys." Ananya murmured.

"Look....its her!" Ria squeled.
Ria quickly freed herself from Siddharth's embrace. Sid was supporting her for walking as she had bruised her ankle while wiping her tears. She had refused his offer before ten times, but that cute face charmed her quickly.
But as she started running he was shocked.
