The psychology classroom had a poster on the wall that said 'Who are you?'. It was a very deep question for a Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Jung stood at the front. She was wearing glasses on a chain and looked like she knew everyone's secrets.
"The Ego," Mrs. Jung said. "It is the part of the mind that seeks to please itself. It wants attention. It wants glory. It screams 'Look at me!'."
Alex sat at his desk. He looked at the back of Rico's head two rows in front. Rico was currently watching highlights of himself on his phone under the desk.
"The Ego," Alex whispered.
"And then," Mrs. Jung continued. "There is the Super-Ego. The conscience. The rule-keeper. It wants order. It wants perfection. It says 'Do it right'."
Alex looked at his own notebook. It was neat. Organized. Color-coded.
"I am the Super-Ego," Alex thought. "And Rico is the Ego."
Mark sat next to Alex. Mark was wearing a tinfoil hat. It was shaped like a pyramid.
