Penelope approached Professor Cassie's office, fortune cookie halves and fortune in hand. She had not eaten her cookie because she was allergic to wheat. The notice said that the lesson would be in the kitchen. She needed to know if they would be cooking and eating anything with wheat in it. If they would be cooking anything, it would probably have wheat in it, and the professor would need to know about her allergy. The last time she had had a lesson in the kitchen, they had been making pizza. She had not eaten any of the pizza, but inhaling some of the flour had left her with a rash and terrible nasal congestion for the remainder of the day. After knocking on the door three times with her free hand, she sat down on one of the chairs and bounced lightly. Bouncy chairs were fun.
