Meanwhile, Ranbir, the school champion and the head boy of Rosewood High is bullying over a guy, along with his group of friends, as the guy had messed around with Ranbir's girlfriend, Padmini. After the stripping the guy and sharing a kiss with Padmini, Ranbir follows the guy who is running wildly through the school campus.

He also tells her that he donates the money earned from the bets to three orphans-Sunny, Leo and Ne. She gives him the idea of acting weak, which causes half the school to apply their bets on Rahat. Hence, Ranbir's plan succeeds.

The much hyped battle between Oathkeepers and Slayers begins. Ranbir's father as well as an Olympic champion, Rajbir Chowdhury, arrives as the Guest of Honour for the event. Ranbir is continuously winning all the matches successively. Maya wishes Rahat good luck before he enters the ring for his battle with Ranbir. Alongside, Rajbir tells Rahat that he was the only Oathkeeper to beat a Slayer and create history. Rahat tells him that he draws his inspiration from him. However, Rajbir says that he can never win against Ranbir. In the ring, Rahat shows an exemplary performance and survives all the knocks of Ranbir. Although at the end, Ranbir wins, however Rahat wins many hearts. At the after party, Coach Rana and Rajbir have a conversation over their school days and how Rajbir had beaten Rana to become the only Oathkeeper to beat a Slayer. When Maya comes and appreciates Rahat's skills, Rajbir's blood starts boiling and Maya asks all the guests to leave. When Ranbir arrives home, his father insults him and tells him that he could not even beat a street fighter. In his anger, he throws away the medal won by Ranbir. Dinky gets upset and decides to run away when Ms. Bose scolds her for dancing. Elsewhere, Maya and Rajbir are having a fight over Rahat.

However, Rajbir refuses to accept Rahat as his son. Maya argues that Rahat will stay at their house. Rajbir tells her to change her decision or she will regret it. However, she is adamant and he storms out of the room in a fit of rage. All this while, Rahat had been standing outside their house, listening to their conversation. He starts crying hearing all this.

Ranbir and his group of friend are having fun. Maya is sad reading Nandini's letter. Rahat has left for Mussoorie. Divyanka has also escaped from school. She meets Rahat at the station.

Dinky and Rahat sit at the Chinese stall and eat noodles. However while talking to each other there, they realise that they are committing a mistake. They understand that running away from their problems is not a solution. They decide to return to Rosewood High. Rahat gives away his jacket to Dinky as her kurti is torn. Ranbir is having fun with his friends and as he had full faith in the 'Spirit of Brotherhood', he jumps off from the bridge. His friend save him from falling depicting true friendship. However, other two guys are afraid of jumping. When Rahat returns to Rosewood, Ranbir challenges him to perform this risky stunt. Rahat, in order to prove himself, jumps off from the bridge. Ranbir and his friends hold him. Just then, Coach Rana arrives and notices only Rahat as the other guys run away.

Coach Rana reprimands Rahat for participating in the dangerous stunt. When Ranbir returns home, he encounters Coach Rana at his house, in a conversation with his mother. His mother asks him about the incident, to which he replies that he knows nothing. Rana says that there were many other guys as well but he could not see their face. When asked about the boys, Rahat saves Ranbir and his friends by telling that there were no other people and he is himself responsible for his actions. Maya replies that then his 25% marks will be cut and since he joined midterm, he is at a very big disadvantage. She also adds that the students will not be allowed to have an after-party. However, Rahat agrees to the punishment and does not reveal the truth. When Rana and Rahat leave, Maya makes Ranbir realises his mistake and makes him understand that he is responsible for his own actions. He is greatly touched by Rahat's behaviour. The next day, Rana is motivating Rahat to practice harder and put in all his efforts. Just then, Ranbir arrives and thanks Rahat for saving him the previous day. He also invites Rahat to the after-party. Dinky and Aditi are mopping the school premises as a punishment by Ms. Bose. Elsewhere, Ranbir and his group of friends are planning for the party. When Aditi leaves, Dinky walks up to Rahat to return his jacket, however he behaves rudely with her. She walks away in anger. Just then, Ranbir trips onto the wet floor. He flirts around a bit with Dinky and later invites her to the party. However she refuses as she had to clean the school premises. He helps her by switching on the fire alarm and hence water falling as emergency cleans up the floor.

Everyone is partying hard to celebrate the Slayer's win. When Dinky and Aditi arrive, a boy tries to misbehave with her, Just then, Rahat arrives and saves Dinky from the situation and apologizes for speaking rudely to her. Ranbir arrives and makes Dinky and Rahat have some drinks. Padmini, struck with jealousy because of Ranbir's closeness with Dinky, intervenes and tells all of them to join the dare game. While playing, Adhish is asked to kiss Roy on his right side and the game continues. When the chance comes on Ranbir, he is asked to spend 20 minutes in a locked cupboard with a girl of his choice. He chooses Dinky over Padmini which upsets her. Inside the cupboard, Dinky and Ranbir are discussing about love. Elsewhere, things go awfully wrong. Adhish finds her sister, Lara having sex with Roy in a car. This infuriates him and he blasts upon Roy. They get into a heated argument and eventually end up beating each other hard. Padmini realising the gravity of the situation, rushes to the cupboard to call Ranbir. However, she sees Ranbir and Dinky kissing when she opens the door. This leaves both Padmini and Rahat heartbroken.

Padmini leaves from there immediately. Lara asks Ranbir to stop Adish and Roy. Eventually, Ranbir intervenes between Roy and Adhish. But Adhish refuses to bury the hatchet and calls for a blood-fight. Ranbir and Roy team up against Adhish. He refuses to take anyone's help and wants to fight by himself. So it's Ranbir and Roy v/s Adhish. He gets knocked down by Ranbir in his first punch. Then, Roy enters. He beats him real hard and he falls near Rahat's feet. He supports him and helps him get up. Rahat then steps in, and the fight turns ugly. Rahat ends up punching Roy very hard. When Roy falls down, Ranbir urges Rahat to fight with him and says "Fights should be between equals". Rahat agrees to this and breaks one of Roy's leg. He does this because he wanted Roy to fight with Adhish who had also beaten up badly before and had a broken leg. After being hurt badly, Lara tends to Adhish. There, while Ranbir is tending to Roy, he realises that Padmini is missing. He sets out in search of her and finds her sitting beside the lake. They have a talk over the kissing incident and Padmini understands that Ranbir loves Dinky. She explains to him that she wanted a lifelong love. However, she readily gives up her love for Ranbir's happiness. That night, they break up with a promise that they will always remain best friends. Rahat is emotionally about the recent events and confronts Rajbir. He further gets infuriated and asks Rajbir to accept him as his son.He walks away, vexed and Dinky follows him.

Ms. Bose takes Dinky and Aditi to the principal to complain about them being at the party as well the previous night. Maya ignores her appeals. Furthermore, she announces that for the cultural development of the school, Rosewood High would take part in the dance competition as well, with Dinky leading the dance team. Dinky gets excited as she receives the written permission for this. While the students are painting outside, Maya comes and tells Rahat that the Board of Trustees wishes to meet him and talk to him about formal complain lodged against him for his inappropriate behaviour the previous night. She adds that though all the students were present at the party, only Rahat was getting punished for his misdeeds. This arouses the 'Spirit of Brotherhood' in them. The Director of the Board of Trustees says that Rahat must be expelled from his school. Soon all the students who were present at the party arrive and confess their crimes. Ranbir tells that it was his idea to arrange a party, Lara agrees that she arranges for the drinks and Padmini accepts that she invited the DJ at the party. All the students stand in solidarity with Rahat. Maya says that since all the students are responsible, it is her decision as the principal that none of them should be punished. However, The Director argues that the privilege that Rahat had- joining the school midterm-was enjoyed only by the children of the trustees. Then he puts the issue to vote and the trustees including Rajbir vote to rusticate Rahat. But Maya intervenes and tells that Rahat is not a charity case. She reveals the truth that he is the son of Rajbir Chowdhary. This angers Ranbir and he storms out. Rajbir tells Rahat that he was the biggest mistake that he committed and runs out crying. Padmini, being Ranbir's best friend goes to console as well as motivate him and tells him that no one can take his place. Dinky is practicing her dance when she hears Rahat crying. She rushes beside him and makes him understand that he is not a mistake and it was not his fault. Amidst this overflow of emotions, Rahat and Dinky kiss, witnessed by Ranbir, which leaves him infuriated.

At the dinner table, Ranbir behaves rudely with his parents. His mother brings him a pie, to which he says that the pie is only his. When his parents want to talk to him about the sudden revelation, he bluntly tells them that when he cannot share his pie with anyone, he will never share his family.

At the Holi Celebrations, Maya and Rahat let go off that one thing that has been holding them back in life. Aditi gets enraged that Dinky had chosen Padmini over her as a partner, for maintaining the school reputation. She hurls abuses and insults at her sister which leaves Dinky heartbroken.

Rahat is badly injured and is taken to the hospital by Maya and Dinky. There, Rajbir approaches him. He, firstly behaves very nicely and affectionately towards Rahat. However, soon he says that he should have never had sex with his mother. He further adds that she was very desperate for him and wanted him badly. He again repeats that he regrets Rahat's existence in his life and is ashamed of his mistake. All this while, Dinky stands outside, listening to the conversation and crying. When Rajbir leaves, Dinky enters. Rahat, being emotionally drained out, gets restless. Dinky tends to his wounds that had started bleeding again. Rahat tells her that his mother's love failed. However, Dinky tells him that no one has the right to question his existence and his mother truly loved him. He says that love is bullshit and he does not believe in it.
