"I-... er..." Stephanie mentally fumbled for a way to explain herself. Her mind was swimming for a multitude of reasons. She wasn't used to talking to a male student like this.. least of all without her disguise to fall back on. Or without any clothing to fall back on, period. Her face was burning red with the ramifications. The only remotely reassuring bit of solace was that maybe, just maybe, she'd never see this guy again, and the opposite would be true as well, so no one would ever have to know.
For the moment, however... Stephanie's priority was damage control, and that was no easy feat. Absolutely ensuring her intimates stayed under cover was a good start, so she kept her back to him, and that satchel firmly positioned over her rear.
"I-... I snuck into the school because I was bored..." Fairly true. "This, this jerk of a bully forced me into spraying this wall..." Half true. "...and... and he took all my clothes, so... so I was hoping if I did what he said, I'd get them back." Mostly true... though technically they hadn't been hers.
There was a long period of tense silence. Stephanie could only assume the boy was processing all that. "W, what!? You've never heard of a girl cross dressing before!?"
Stephanie cast a backwards glance at him, quick to clutch an arm tight against her breasts as she did so, to prevent any chance of a sidelong view... though it distantly registered with her that, more than likely, this student had already seen most of her... and then some.
"Well... not really, no... and I sure as hell haven't ever seen a naked girl in our gym before, either."
Stephanie's face burned red at that remark. She... still had shoes on! "It's... it's not like I want to be, okay!? So-... so, would you.... um-... mind helping me out?" She softened her tone deliberately, offering the boy a genuinely pleading look. "Just-... find me something to wear so I can get out of here safely, okay?"
"How do I know that?"
"W...what?"
