No

Jess sat down in her chair and was about to start getting dressed when Janet spoke to her again.

"A lot of us think you're really cool and brave, you know," she said.

Jess was surprised at the sudden compliment because she had started to feel that people were only trying to humiliate her.

"It's inspiring that you can be so naked and free," Janet continued. "I mean, I would never dream of being in your shoes, not that you're wearing any, especially not that thing that you did before, that was really slutty, but being naked and all - that's amazing."

"Thanks," Jess blushed, picking her bra out of her bag.

"Oh, were you going to get dressed?" Janet asked, looking slightly disappointed.

Jess didn't want to let her down after all the kind words, so against her better judgement she said: "No, I'm just folding this. I'll pop out just before the class ends and get dressed in the bathroom. The lighting there is much better anyway, which makes it easier."

"Wow," her friend said in amazement. "So you'll be naked in the hall?"

"Yeah," Jess confirmed. "But people will still be in class so no one will see me."

Then they continued watching the movie, and Jess was quickly engrossed in the story.

Before she knew it, the credits were rolling across the screen, and when she looked at the time, class was almost over. Jess picked up her bag in a frenzy and hurried out of the classroom, closing the door quietly behind her.

She knew she only had a couple of minutes before the bell would ring, so she hurried towards the bathroom. However, being new to this school, she went the wrong way and there was no bathroom to be found. Feeling more and more exasperated as she trotted along, she finally stopped at a four way junction and looked around. Then the worst possible thing happened: the bell rang.

Jess didn't even have time to think before doors started opening on all sides and students poured into the halls. Although she was shocked, this was similar to what had happened the other day when she had found herself naked on the bus, so she decided to adopt the same strategy, namely acting more confident than she felt. Putting on a nonchalant attitude, she picked a direction and walked down that hall. She was immediately surrounded by those who were milling out of the classrooms and she struggled to keep her calm with so many people around.

"It's the naked girl from the other day," one boy said.

"Is she walking around like that again?" a girl commented.

"Why are you naked?" another one asked behind her.

Jess turned around, but there were so many faces she couldn't see who asked the question.

"Some girls at my old school used to come in like this," she lied, repeating what she had told Dylan earlier.

"Completely naked? And it was allowed?"

"Uhm, yeah," Jess said defensively. "It was they're style, and now I thought I'd try it out for myself."

"Wow, no one has ever had that kind of style in this school before," a girl right in front of her said.

"Why do you have clothes in your bag, though?" someone else asked.

Jess looked down at the clothes that were sticking out of her bag.

"I brought them because I wanted to get rid of them and, uh, our trash bin at home was full," she said without thinking.

"Let me see what you have before you throw it away," the girl in front of Jess said, bending down and picking clothes out of her bag.

"Wow," the girl said. "This looks super comfy."

More girls closed in as the first one pulled everything out of Jess' bag and handed the items out. Very soon, the bag contained only books and her phone. Her clothes were all taken, even down to her underwear which had already been discarded on the floor. Someone was kind enough to pick it up and throw it in the trash, though, leaving Jess without anything to wear at all.

"Well," she said. "If you guys will excuse me, I have to head to my next class."
