[ WP ] One day while hanging out with your friends , you accidentally discover that you have the force .

`` You're kidding! You've never watched Star Wars?!'' 
 
 Here we go again. I had my response memorized from years of repeating it. 
 
 `` No..my parents are super religious and think it's poison for the mind. Yeah pretty lame.'' 
 
 Ok so my parents are n't super religious, just super freaking weird and religion is the most believable reason for it. Usually they're normal, supportive, loving parents. Except when it comes to Star Wars. They refuse to explain why but it's the one thing that I've ever been banned from. Gory violent videos games? We'll get it for you for Christmas! Light up plastic futuristic sword thing? Grounded for a week and grilled about when I saw it. Like I said, they're freaking weird. 
 
 `` Why do n't you just... come over to my house and watch it? They'd never know.'' 
 
... this thought literally never occurred to me before now, but once it was there it seemed so obvious. I was still getting to know Jeff and wanted to play it cool. 
 
 `` Yeah sure man after school.'' *Internal screaming* 
 
 There's one rule. Why did I break it? It seemed like such a stupid rule though! What a kid wo n't do to look cool in front of his friends. 
 
 School went by way too fast, and unfortunately my parents trust me too much and did n't question my last minute call asking to go home with a friend. Jeff's mom picked us up and soon I found myself in front of a TV screen with Jeff and his friend Mike. 
 
...... 
 
 It was... a good movie? I liked it, but it just left me even more confused why my parents hate it. We sat debating why they might be against it. Best guess was that they're just huge Start Trek fans. Soon the conversationg drifted to what I felt about the movie, favorite parts. That force stuff? I almost jumped up when they explained it. It just... made sense ya know? Ca n't explain it, but it was stuck in my head the rest of the day. 
 
 Well, my parents never suspected a thing. Life went on, the guilt of breaking the only rule faded. Jeff, Mike, and I became a trio, hanging out almost every day after school. Of course the movie that brought all three of us together, and the force was a common topic. We all agreed we wanted it bad, I mean who does n't want that kind of power? I just wish we had n't tried to do it. 
 
 We were joking at first, holding a hand out while another fake choked across the room. Until I pretended to summon the remote and it came to my hand immediately. We all stopped, I dropped the remote and almost fainted. Jeff and Mike erupted in amazement and requests to move other things. In my head I figured some crazy chain of events somehow moved the remote in the luckiest most coincidental event ever. I was wrong. 
 
 Remotes became chairs became couches became people became everything in Jeff's room including us. Once I calmed down it was just mater of visualizing it happening. 
 
 I'm not sure why I have the force, and the only people I could ask about would ground me, kill me, bring me back to life just to ground me again. So why am I writing all this in a journal? Get it off my chest and practice writing. You better believe this is how I'm writing all my essays from now on.
