Actually please comment I'd love some feedback on where I can improve. 

When I woke up this morning I smelt chocolate and something else. I got up, got dressed and went to look out my window; it was open though and rain had started to drip into my window sill.

I looked around for a towel or something to wipe out the water. A bubble floated from the water when my hand passed. I tried it again the bubble just stayed floating I almost choked on the amount of air I sucked in. 

I moved my hand but the bubble didn't move it just stayed floating again, I wished it would just leave the spot it was in so my neighbors wouldn't think I was blowing bubbles in my room. As soon as I thought it, it moved to the other side of the room next to my bathroom. By this point I had started hyperventilating and the bubble exploded.

I was a freak; I was going to be experimented on because I was seeing shit. I thought about telling my mother but then I decided it would be best if I just kept it to myself.

As silly as it sounded maybe I was a telethesis. Then when I went on my laptop to research I came up with nothing. Then I realized that thesis was a part of an English paper, the power was called telekinesis. It was the power to make things happen with only your mind.

For a few more minutes I tried to move other things with my mind. It was an epic fail. Nothing else in my room wanted to move. I contemplated the possibilities that I was just hallucinating or maybe it was just a coincidence that water turned into a bubble and moved when I wanted it to.

It was Thursday and I had school. Since field hockey had ended I really didn't have much to look forward to after school. Matisse and I had considered going to a café to do homework but we both withdrew the idea when we realized that we had virtually no money left to spare after spending on dance preparations.

The dance would take place tomorrow at the high school in the gym or cafeteria, I forgot. At school all I did was daydream and check the time. Maybe it was time for me to start paying attention more. 

After school when I got home I put my stuff together for the dance and set it aside in closet. I did my homework and started to study for my tests tomorrow. For some reason teachers thought it was appropriate to give tests all at once on the day of a school event. I'd never cared that much until I was one of the people trying to go to said school event. 

I studied for chemistry for a while until I realized that I still needed to finish my lab. On Thursdays we had a lab period instead of a free period. I had spaced out during the lab so I forgot what to write for my analysis.

The lab directions were still on the lab packet so I just copied the directions and went down to the kitchen to attempt to redo the lab at home. It was a simple water experiment so all I was supposed to do was boil water and put a balloon or something on top of a bottle and then make it heat up. I didn't have a Bunsen burner or an apparatus to heat it up so I considered putting it in the microwave but then I wouldn't be able to witness the change. I should have just looked online but my internet was down and I wasn't sure if it would even come back on tonight.

I got my coffee cup warmer and plugged it in the wall. The coffee warmer was going to take forever whereas the Bunsen burner would only take a few minutes.

I got a balloon and a bottle then put it on the coffee warmer. It was taking forever and all I wanted was it to go faster so I could just go to sleep. I had a killer headache. The water started to boil as soon as I wanted it too. When I imagined it cooling down, it did. I started bouncing up and down and thinking about all the things I could do with it and the water exploded out of the bottle and onto my floor after a hole appeared in the bottle.
