Try to explain the situation.

“Please let me explain!” Jessica said. She was sure the girls would pounce on her but her **** cry gave them pause.

“I’m not some crazy exhibitionist and I'm also not a thief like you think I am. Please trust me. I was in the elevator, running an errand for a teacher since I was in school early. Basically, the doors closed on me, I lost my dress and I came down here in the scraps remaining to find some clothes. I swear I didn’t know these were yours, please let me borrow them for today.”

The two girls looked at each other then back at Jessica. “I’ll believe your story.” the dark-skinned girl replied. “But you’re not getting off scot-free.”

“What?” Jessica stammered. She took a step back.

“Yeah, I need those clothes today. It’s for a drama class, don’t ask. In any other circumstance, I would have lent you these just for a day it’s not going to work out today.”

Jessica stared at her in shock of her cold response. The other girl snapped her fingers. “C’mon, I haven’t got all day. I need those off ASAP.” It was clear in her tone there was going to be no compromise.

Jessica handed over her yet unclasped bra and stripped off the marching black panties (which she got to enjoy for a whole couple seconds). Both articles were snatched from her without another word, and the two girls were off on their way.

Jessica, on the other hand, was back to square one (or actually much worse).
