******FLASHBACK********
James and Mia met each other when they were only 5 years old. Mia's personality was very outgoing and adventurous totally opposite to James who was introvert and shy type.
After some months they met them, Alex, Mark and Jasmine in a banquet arranged by their elders and became friends due to a conflict between some other children and both of them.
Those five became best friends and as the time passed their understanding with each-other turned deeper. They got to know about each-other's genius minds. And made no exceptions for any more friends in this private circle of theirs.
But soon their arrogance was broken up by a feisty little lady who was calm but explosive.
All five of them were stubborn but this one was like their ancestor in being stubborn. They met Joanna Robinson, the eldest daughter of Robinson family and the most eccentric personality of whole upper-class circle.
Joanna was simple yet the most complex person, she didn't socialize with anyone even if that meant for her to sit alone in a banquet for hours without talking. The group was astonished by this and tried to tease her a bit, but Joanna was simply a god and never fell for their childish pranks but reversed it on them very skillfully.
Joanna who was born genius was hard to get along. As they turned 6 and started schooling, they met Joanna who was in the same class. Mia and Jasmine became friends with Joanna after the latter saved them from some group of bullies.
Mia and Jasmine became fans of Joanna, but Joanna remained the same. This irked the three boys and they decide to confront her.
"Joanna, why are you so arrogant? Can't you give some respect to us? And why do you ignore Mia?" James questioned Joanna in a rude voice.
"Is Mia the girl you fancy? Or she has became your girlfriend already?" Joanna asked as she looked at him.
James's face flushed as his secret was revealed, but he still refuted it.
"J-Joanna, you-you… What nonsense!!" Although James now was nowhere the previous shy boy but his face blushed furiously that made him look adorable.
"Oh, is that wrong? So, can I introduce her to my brother?" Joanna smirked at him.
"You dare!!" James shouted in anguish.
Joanna for the first time smiled and that stunned the three young boys.
"Joanna, you look pretty when you smile." Mark complimented her and her smile froze as she herself didn't realize that she was smiling to them until now.
"Well, speak. Why did you ask me here for?" Joanna said with impatience clear in her voice.
"Joanna, if you win in the game we decide. We'll will follow you." Alex said with arrogance clear in his tone.
"You want to follow me so bad." Joanna said in a sarcastic tone.
The boys went speechless.
'This girl simply knows how to anger people!!!!!'
James asked for a duel, Alex asked for something related to computers and Mark who now behaved like a bunny asked for them to escape from school unnoticed.
James practiced Martial arts since he was three and due to his dedication and talent for it, he achieved a black belt in it. His IQ was not lacking but intensified his talents. But for Joanna it was as easy as flicking fingers and James was defeated.
Alex was very talented with computer and Joanna made it clear to him about her scope and talents but the arrogance in him made him neglect everything and decided to breach a firewall of National Authority.
Joanna just smirked at him; they both were able to breach the national security wall in minimum time possible but Joanna took ¼ of the time of Alex.
Mark was very surprised by Joanna who defeated his brothers in minutes and befriended her, but still asked her to help them bunk from school.
Joanna agreed. Next Friday.
The group of six was prepared to bunk the school and was in high spirits and even the usual indifferent face of Joanna had a rare spark and excitement. The P.E. period came and Joanna signaled them to follow her.
Joanna controlled the CCTV with her mini laptop that look like a simple book if casually placed anywhere, the others were surprised as they had noticed Joanna always have this particular book with her. But they never knew it was actually a mini laptop.
Joanna took them to a building that was currently closed due to renovations, behind the building their was an emergency gate which was open now so that the renovation materials can be taken in with the shortest route and no ruffle.
The five became excited as they easily avoided some workers and ran outside.
"So, where do you guys plan to go?" Joanna asked as it was also her first time so free without the restrictions of her family rules so was theirs.
"Amusement Park!!" Jasmine and Mia said in an excited voice but Joanna and other three declined thinking about the danger.
"How about a picnic?" Mark said after saw them so dejected.
"Awesome." The five said in unison and chuckled.
"But where?" Alex asked.
"Follow me!!" Joanna said as she helped them board the bus to the outskirts of city after purchasing food for all of them.
