Yeah. There will be more of PAN!
Jan, Putzie, and the others went to the cafeteria for lunch. They all sat down at the table with lunch trays and lunch bags and start to eat.
She opened her bag and took out her sandwich, her apple, and a granola bar she just eaten. She has a lunch tray too with things she piled on.
Doody looks at Jan's hand reaching out to the apple noticing something is wrong. "Uh... Jan? Are you sick?"
Jan looked at him and shook her head. "Why would I be sick?"
"Uhhhhh... You're hand... It's…"
Jan immediately looked at her hand and let out a massive shriek.
Her hand is covered in red lumpy spots. And it got swollen. She freaked out and Putzie rushed to her.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I- I- I don't know!" Jan shouts stammering. She cannot breathe because she felt her airway close up. She then coughed loudly.
"Are you choking?" Frenchy asked worried.
Putzie looks at her hand which starts swelling up like a balloon being inflated. "Jan! You're hand is swelling! I gotta get you to the nurse before you pass out! You can't breathe?"
She shook her immediately and continues coughing. Putzie immediately wrapped his arms around her and carried her bridal style before running.
When they finally made it to the nurse. Putzie opened the door and shouted, "Help! Nurse! My girlfriend needs help!"
The school Nurse immediately stood up and came to the poor girl who is now passing out halfway coughing most of the way and suddenly it sounded congested.
"What happened?" Nurse asked.
"I don't know! Her hand became swollen, and then she couldn't breathe!"
Jan tried her hardest to breathe but something was blocking her windpipe.
The Nurse went to get the a shot, came back announcing, "Now this may hurt a little."
Putzie held her arm out squeezing her other hand. Jan squeaked as the shot injected her body and then she noticed the hand deflated to the normal size but the lumps are still there.
She breathe deeply once more but continues to cough because her throat became scratchy. Putzie tells Jan still squeezing her hand. "It's ok. Everything's alright."
The Nurse asked holding up her lumpy hand which spreads to her wrist.
"Is there any more symptoms?" Jan replies slowly and quietly since she still can't breathe,
"My throat feels really itchy, congested and something blocked it. Am I sick? Did I get the chicken pox?"
The Nurse put a thermometer in her mouth, took it out, and looked at it. "No fever." Putzie asked, "Then what is wrong with her?" The Nurse starts checking her pressure. "
Hmmmmm... What did you eat recently?" She asked Jan.
"All I had for lunch is a granola bar."
"Hmm... Did you get the lumps before lunch?"
"I never noticed them as I walked in the cafeteria." The Nurse frowned and then says, "Well then. I'm gonna have to call your parents and have them take you to a doctor, or dermatologist to take a look at this."
Putzie shook his head thinking this is not helping to find out what is wrong with his love.
"Right now, you need to lie here and rest until one of them gets here." The Nurse instructed. Jan nodded, lying down on the cot and then Putzie promises, "I'll stay with you."
"I'm afraid your going to have to go back to class." The Nurse said sadly. Putzie felt the urge to punch the lady in the face, but he'll get expelled if he does something like that. He gives in. "Fine…"
He went to Jan who's staring at the ceiling and said, "I'll come to your place later on! I'll bring you some work from classes."
He then kissed her on the forehead and she mouthed "Thank you" since she can't talk now. Putzie smiled as he walked out the door.
Later that day after school, Putzie went over to Jan's house with homework he picked up from the last five classes.
He knocked on the door and then opening the door is actually Jan's mom. "Oh hello!" Jan's mom says welcoming.
"Hi! Umm... Is Jan here? I just wanted to drop off some homework for her."
She looks inside and back to him. "That is so thoughtful of you, but she's resting at the moment-"
And a voice called out. "No mom... I'm awake…"
Her mom looks back again and to Putzie and nods letting him in. He came into the living room where Jan is.
Soon as he came in, he saw her rolling over on the couch cuddled up in pajamas under a blanket watching cartoons and looked up to him.
"Hey…"
"Hey..." Putzie came in handing her the homework. "Like I promised." Jan gave a small tired smile replying,
"Thank you…"
"You're welcome. How are you feeling?"
She nods. "I'm ok. Mom gave me an antihistamine an hour ago. It made me a little dizzy."
Putzie nods and then asks, "So, what's happening huh? What was wrong with you?"
Jan explains, "We went to the dermatologist and then told him what happened. He told me that I may be allergic to oats. That was in the granola bar I was eating. It gave me bumps on my skin and it makes my throat swollen when I ate it. So they gave me medicine to treat it."
He took in all the words and then said, "I have never seen you allergic to oats before. Is this the first time you noticed it?"
Jan was about to nod as a reply but then something came to her mind like she may have seen this before.
Flashback... Jan who was ten in a poodle skirt and a ponytail went to a sock hop at an ice cream parlor and she ordered a nice sundae with fudge, whipped cream, and granola with a cherry on top. After about two bites, she felt herself choking. She got up and ran to a table looking for a glass of water and then she immediately picks it up and chugs it all the way down. The kid looks at her as if she were strange and then Jan nods thanking him feeling a lot better and then walked away.
Present... Jan shook her head and then told him. "I think I had granola in a sundae years ago, and I thought some of the fudge went down the wrong pipe, but I felt a lot better afterwards. But I never knew I was allergic."
Putzie nods and then says, "I was actually allergic to raspberries."
"Really?" Jan asked suddenly. "How?"
"I was having a toast with jam on it. When I ate it, I was breaking out and swelling."
Jan can picture what happens to raspberries.
Putzie stood up and then said, "That's alright. Right now, I'll let you rest. And then I'll-" He was about to turn for the door but Jan stopped him.
"Wait! Please stay! I'm just really happy you're here! At least stay for dinner."
"What are you having?" He asked.
She shrugged, "I don't know. Soup maybe."
He thought it would be appetizing. "I love soup!" He said as he sat on the couch next to her. She leans into him and snuggles. He smiled and watched some television pulling her close.
