**MAXIE's POV**

It was eight in the evening at break ko na sa trabaho ko kaya naisipan kong lumabas muna para bumili nang makakain.

I'm a Call Center Agent and I'm proud of it. Kung hindi dahil sa trabaho kong ito hindi ako makakatulong sa magulang ko at hindi ko mapapag aral ang sarili ko.

I don't know why some people thinks that this isn't a job that you can be proud of. At mababa din ang tingin nila sa amin. They think na madali lang ito at tambakan ito nang mga studyante na hindi nakapag tapos nang pag aaral lalo na nang mga Educ. students.

This is a decent job. We are not harming any people and we don't operate illegally. The salary was pretty high too.

Our job was not that easy actually. Iniisip nang iba na sasagot lang kami nang tawag and that's it. No, we need to be careful since nagbubukas din kami nang mga accounts, We check every single transactions of our customers and such. It depends on the department kung saan ka naka station.

I'm in the Fraud analyst department.

Also, hindi ito tambakan nang mga "hindi nakapag tapos nang pag aaral". Those people who are unfortunate at napilitang tumigil sa pag aaral ay nag ta-trabaho para makatulong sa pamilya nila. Para hindi sila maging pabigat sa pamilya nila at para hindi sila maging tambay since mahirap mag hanap nang trabaho kapag wala kang degree.

May mga nakapag sabi na din na "Educ. ang kinuha pero Call Center Agent ang bagsak". I'm really wondering why they belittle us like that.

If that person has the passion in teaching then I'm sure he or she will follow that path.

Considering how hard it is to find a job nowadays, that person might also be working as a Call Center Agent for the mean time hanggang hindi pa sya natatanggap sa mga schools or so.

Even I, my self was planning to resign kapag nakapag tapos na ako sa pag aaral at kapag may tumanggap na sa akin na school.

"Maxie, kakain kana ba? Come on, let's eat together" tawag sa akin nang team leader namin.

"I'll eat together with you then" tumango naman ako at agad na napangiti.

Habang hinihintay namin ang order namin ay naisipan kong mag bukas nang Facebook and I was really shocked to see a lot of notification today.

Most of it were mentioning me on their comments on Ian's post.

I was curious kaya I opened it at binasa ko ang post ni Ian.

"Today, sinagot na ako nang babaeng matagal ko nang nililigawan. I'm not single anymore! And yes, that girl is Maxie Shanell Montejo. This is my choice and I do love her a lot. Please support me with my decision.

Physical Appearance matters not to me.

I've heard a lot of rumors kanina nang nalaman nang iba ang ginawa ko sa BSNED room. Madami ang nag judge kay Maxie saying that she's not good enough for me, she's ugly and she's flat. Her nose was shy and she's poor as dirt.

Please stop body shaming her and not just her but everyone else too. And even to your self.

Love the reflection that you see on the mirror because it's one of a kind.

She's poor as dirt? If you love money that much then marry a money.

I hope you live well together with your money and probably have a lot of gold digger babies.

I'm the one who's gonna be with her so I'm wondering why you reacted that way. It's not like you are suffering because of my relationship with Maxie"

He even tagged all of his teammates.

"How addicted is he on social media?" napabulong na lang ako.

I forgot about this issue already since I'm too occupied with my work.

My classmates didn't react harshly and instead they wish me well. As I said, being a Special Needs Education student needs a lot of understanding not only on our student but to everyone else too.

**BRENT's POV**

I want to have a date with Maxie tomorrow. Not on the library obviously. But I don't know what to give her!

I'm gonna ask my friends on how to date a Special Needs Education student.

I opened my messenger at hinanap ko kaagad ang group chat namin nang team ko.

"Varsity Jerks"

"What am I gonna give to my girl? I want to have a date with her" I send it kaagad and I see that most of my friends were online.

"Give your self to her" reply kaagad ni Reggy with a series of laughing emotions.

"Give her a child" dagdag din ni Peiter.

"What child?" tanong ko naman without even thinking. Should I date her on a Children with special needs exhibit and such?

"Probably a child that would look just like you or perhaps the both of you" Xander shockingly joined our conversation. I though he was busy?

"Just don't give her a red ballpen. She can't use it since it might frighten her students" reply din ni Mark.

Oh, it's good that I didn't give her a red Parker pen back then.

"Your girl was different than other so might as well give her something that she can use" Lhester replied after some time.

"Should I watch a movie with her in the cinema?" tanong ko na naman dahil I want everything to be perfect.

"That's absolutely right man! You could do more than just watching when they turned off the light" singit ni Reggy and he even included a thumbs up.

"Why do you always suggest such dirty things?" tanong naman. Is he a pervert or something?

"I'm just helping you to get rid of your virgin title" and again, Reggy included a laughing emotions.

"I'm gonna remove you now" He's an ass.

I decided to remove Reggy to our group chat but Peiter added him again.

"That's rude you know" Reggy replied again.

Hindi na ako nag reply pa.

They are useless.
