I'm not an inherintly malicious person, I don't want to hurt anyone; but when offered the chance of winning some money for a scheme I can concot against my middle school bully, my fingers were flying.

To set the scene for you, I was in the eigth grade so I was highly hormonal and everyone around me got on my nerves. I laughed at sex jokes and still thought boys had cooties. I remeber this girl, call her S, was one of my bestest friends at the time. While on a school field trip one day she decided to ditch me at the museum to run of with a boy. Of course, I did the only reasonable thing and called her about twelve times. All was well and good until at the end of our trip, S's mother called S in fury over how S had left me all alone at the musem. Now instead of trying to find out where S's mother got this information from, S blamed me and my mom for ratting her out (which we did not).

I apologized to her and everything, sent her a handwritten letter and she wouldn't accept it or forgive me. But the story doesn't end there, I'm here today to tell you what I would do to get revenge on S.

It would start with framing her for some crime. Details to come, possibly arson? After she was found guilty of the crime she didn't commit I would then come to her jail cell while she would wait for trial, I'd tell her all about how she'd wronged me and all of the awful ways that she has left an impact on my life.

Or I'd let it go in an attempt to not let my petty habits get the best of me. But actually, the best part of my little story is that I actually got to have some revenge on S. One day, she contacted me over social media, apologizing for her irrational behavior when she was younger. I did the only reasonable thing and promptly told her "I accept your apology, but that is only because I have always been, and will always be a better person than you are". I then blocked her and have never spoken to her again, don't you just love a happy ending?

Cat Litter.

Life is like cat litter. It can get really shitty but at the end of the day it will eventually get better if you stick it out.
