Bullied by My Ex, After Keeping Quiet for Long Enough, I've Finally Gotten My Revenge, Musically

About 5 months ago, I dated a girl for just about a month. It ended swiftly because she would constantly lie straight to my face, and I would hear from a new person every day that she was messing with some other guy.

After breaking up with her, she has harassed me non-stop by spreading nasty rumors, openly attacking me on social media and in person, as well as interfering with every relationship I start with someone else. At one time she even took things so far as to try to get a friend of hers to fight me. When he tried to intimidate me, I told him to back off and that I refused to fight him. I simply walked away.

Luckily, I had a surprise for her.

As fate would have it, we are in the same high school string orchestra, and I have been given the opportunity to write a piece of music that we will play in concert. If you couldn’t already tell, I took her into special consideration while writing this piece. All of my anger, all of the frustration and humiliation, all culminating into this score of sheet music, a piece of music that she will be forced to play, and play well she shall, for her grade depends on it.

I went to great lengths to make her part excruciatingly difficult to play. I wanted it to be something that would have to be practiced, constantly, nearly every single day in order to do properly; shredding up and down the violin’s neck, high notes, followed by a barrage of low notes, awkward rhythms and devilish finger patterns. I have created a masterpiece of pure sadistic splendor. And most fortunately of all, we play different parts, and the bass part I wrote is just easy enough for me to glance at her struggle. Her struggle that she wrought upon herself.

After bringing the score to class one day to get the orchestra director’s thoughts and suggestions, I start showing it to some of the other students to get their opinion of it. A couple of people start criticizing my work. Now, let me clarify, they were giving constructive, reasonable criticism, something I am completely fine with. More specifically, they were commenting on how some of the rhythms didn’t quite line up properly. I assured them that I would get it fixed but nope, they kept complaining. 5 minutes of complaining later and my ex walks by, she takes a brief glance, first at the music, and then at me, she says “You know Shane, It shouldn’t be our fault that you wrote in such shitty rhythms”. I have never been so humiliated in such a long time, the entire class went completely silent, everyone had heard exactly what she said. After these words slip loose her expression turns into the most hideous smirk I have ever seen. This piece of music that I put my heart into, torn down to nothing but “shitty rhythms”. I had nothing to say to her, I just put my head down and walked out of the room… Just as I had always done when she tears me down to nothing…

Later that week, I had made some intense revisions with my piece, I not only made things more musical but I also poured a little something extra into it… Rather than blind anger, I made it more sentimental, I slowed it down and completely changed the style it was played, rather than a furious flurry of notes from hell, it was more of a peaceful feel that the notes just glided over, no matter how wicked or awful they may be. Once I was finished and ready to put it all together, I left a small quote at the bottom of her part.

“I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Poetic justice at its finest.
