Help with the name of this game?

Question

My teacher gave us this clue:

In junior high, I started playing a role playing game with my friends. It was awesome. We would sit around on the weekends drinking Pepsi (it had more sugar) and playing this game until the wee hours of the morning.

The game was great because it made us use our imaginations. There was no board to keep the pieces on. We had to do everything in our heads. It was like story-telling, but it was a game. It helped increase my vocabulary (I learned words like goblin, flail and wizard), and my imagination.
