Caught by a parent.

As Erica looked around frantically for something to cover up with, she heard something she didn't want to hear: the voice of a parent. "Young lady!" a man bellowed, his face contorted into anger. "Why on earth are you topless on a crowded bus?!" If she was honest with herself, she would have preferred to not hear his voice in the first place. Or at least not as loud as he had.

At the sound of his voice, the kids stopped playing to look in her direction with wide eyes. It was mortifying to try and explain why her breasts were exposed on a crowded bus, even though she had boarded fully clothed. "I-Uh-That is..." she started to stutter, trying to justify her predicament, but as if some unseen **** had it in for me, she couldn't put together a coherent sentence.

The man raised an eyebrow, even as the kids approached the two of them, gathered around the topless girl, possibly to get a better look at my humiliating state. "Well?" he snapped. "I'm waiting for an answer."

"I can't tell you honestly, sir..." she muttered. "I boarded with a shirt, and I took a small nap. When I woke up, I found myself like this. I would never expose myself like this normally!"

"A likely story," he scoffed, clearly not believing what he had been told.

"But... It's true!"

He had already turned his back and begun to walk away. Erica could hear him murmuring to himself and caught a few of the words he had used. Words like 'hussy' and 'disappointment to society'. Erica knew she wasn't like that. She just needed to find some cover, so she redoubled her efforts.
