"Shit!" He cussed in pain. I probably shouldn't have asked.

"Are you mad?"

"Nah, I don't want to be mad. I definitely forgot about it when you and I were video gaming hard last night," Arum replied. We actually played too much Super Smash Bros last night. Arum normally picks buff looking characters but he actually mains Sonic. I just kept using Mario but got fond of using Inkling myself recently. Remind me not to get too into video games just because I have a gamer best friend.

After wearing his shoes, Arum reaches out for the doorknob. He gets quite a shock when he opens it upon seeing someone outside our front door.

"Raihen?!"

"Morning!" He greeted.

"Let's go to school together!"

"How long have you been here?" Arum asked.

"Oh, I just got here! Heheh!" He grins.

"It's probably going to be like this every morning now isn't it?" I said sighing.

"Yeap!" He enters the house and tackled us both with a strong hug.

"Let's go!" Raihen enthusiastically cheered. Arum and I almost suffocated in his strong grip between his bulging biceps. Although I still can't get over what happened yesterday and over the fact that I actually punched someone.

With Raihen in the mix, our lives were never the same again. I mean it could be worse.

Sooner than not we were in class. Just the usual room filled with students while professor Robert is briefing us over our last topic.

"Now class, I assume we now all know about the theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow. The hierarchy of needs of course," The professor incited.

"Maslow used the terms physiological, safety, belonging and love, social needs or esteem, and self-actualization to describe the pattern through which human motivations generally move. This means that in order for motivation to occur at the next level, each level must be satisfied within the individual themselves."

"That individual is you! All of us! We are all individuals living in one society," The professor adds. After a brief pause, he scans the room to see a class filled with bored expressions on their faces, barely paying attention to the class discussion.

"Mikhail!" He suddenly called. I immediately responded and stood from my seat. Marui who was very expectant gets a little upset for not being the one who gets called.

All eyes were cast upon me which made me feel slightly disoriented. Just imagine being that person who hardly interacts with anyone else. It makes people curious about how you'll react when you're simply called upon by the teacher to see if anything interesting happens. It's not very alarming.

"In your opinion, what gives meaning to our lives?" Mister Robert asked. The whole class turned blank, most are glad they weren't called. It's as if it was the hardest question in the entire world. Like really, can we just not?

"Humans lead short and boring insignificant lives and have developed a sense of desire and longing. So they involve themselves in hobbies or anything else that can keep them entertained and motivated. They always try to pretend to be part of something big even if they actually aren't," I told straightforwardly. There was only silence and the teacher is quite surprised himself. The others? They aren't quite sure.

"Damn," I heard Marui muttered. Our teacher coughs to gather attention and regain composure for his slightly delayed reaction.

"Thank you mister Mikhail, I believe that is quite accurate. Please take your seat," He ordered and I did as told. Our professor resumes by drawing a diagram on the whiteboard with a blue marker.
