The Fandom School

Holly's POV
While we were down at breakfast someone had dropped off our schedules, a set of rules, and a headband and pin with the words Washington Fangirl School printed on it in white. We were supposed to wear one or the other if we left the school campus, one of the rules said.
"What do you have first period?" I asked Lauren.
"Fan art." She sighed. "I can't do art."
"I have shipping!" I exclaimed. Am I aloud to ship myself? Like with Will?
I glanced at the clock. "We have fifty-two minutes until our first class."
"Well, um, that's enough time to read a few chapters." Lauren declared, opening a book.
"Why aren't you in the book part instead of YouTube?" I asked, looking through my YouTube feed.
She sighed. "I randomly picked between the two and got YouTube."
"What are you gonna do in shipping class? Ship two makeup artists?"
"I watch gamers sometimes. Like Aphmau and the cube." She stated.
"Cool." I said, finding a video to watch. "Vanoss, my man!"
"What?"
"Vanoss uploaded." I said.
"I don't know who that is but ok."

I walked into my first class, Shipping. It seems like the teachers are former students. Some aren't even older than twenty-one.
I took a seat next to Eliza. She seemed to be the only one I knew in this class.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey!" She put her stuff on the floor under her desk.
"Do you know what we're doing? I mean specifically?" I asked.
"Maybe, writing fan-fics?" She said.
"That's a whole other class." I replied.
"True, maybe-"
"Hey guys, my name is Ms. Riffle." Our teacher said.
"Hi." A few voices echoed back.
"So, let's get right into things."
When teachers say that it isn't good.
"Shipping." Ms. Riffle said, "Something that takes imagination."
I turned to Eliza to roll my eyes but she was listening intently.
"I don't give out many papers, I just like to have discussions." Ms. Riffle said. "So, imagine someone, a character, a YouTuber, whatever. Then imagine another character with them. Would anyone like to share their ship?"
I  slowly raised my hand.
"Yes, Ms. Umm..."
"I'm Holly." I said."
"What is your ship?" She questioned.
With a completely straight face I replied, "There's this YouTuber, he's called Kiingtong, or Will. I ship him with me."
Ms. Riffle laughed. "Excellent. What is your ship name with him? If you didn't know a ship name is-"
"I know what it is. Hashtag Willy for life." I said proudly.
"Good job." She smiled. "Anyone else want to share?"
She was greeted by a few raised hands.
Good. I thought. I did something right.
