Generally, I think your dream means that you feel some anxiety about your social situation at school and that that you have some anxiety getting to know people and "revealing yourself" to them. You may be fearful that you are going to get hurt by others as others have hurt you in the past and that you are going to be "used" in a social sense. High school is a time when people feel very sensitive about how they get along socially. Having lived through that and seeing the changes, I can tell you that people can change a lot after high school and that they live through it, even though some situations feel painful. On the other hand some people I knew from high school are the same. Find people who support you and stick with them. No matter what the social standing of people you don't get along with, their opinion does not matter in the long run unless you take it to heart. Some people may be big fish in a small pond now, but eventually they have to enter a bigger sea of life where people will be able to see through them. Be genuine and be yourself and don't be afraid of who you are. A lot of people who are admired now were geeks in high school, but they believed in themselves.

Hmmm, interesting! :) Well, I'm not sure exactly from your question just where it is the dream starts -- is having to go to a new school part of your dream, or does the dream start with you in the art class? I'm guessing that, in real life, you are going to a new school, with the boy you used to have a crush on, and your ex-friend at the new school. If that's the case, and the dream starts with the art class with both of them in it, then I'd say that the teacher telling everyone to take off their shirts, and only you being the one to do it, and the boy and girl from the old school being in that class, suggests that you feel a sense of being exposed, or vulnerable, in your new school, to the same thing happening in your new school that happened at your old school -- namely, you being isolated, alone in your own world, embarrassed and ashamed by people making fun of you.
In the dream, you are the only one in an embarrassing situation, exposed, vulnerable, and the fact that the boy and girl from the old school are in the class, in your dream, suggests that connection to your old school, meaning you might even fear that this guy and girl might spread negative news about you from your old school, resulting in the new school becoming an equally uncomfortable place for you as the previous school was.
The black bra doesn't sound overly ignificant, although it may suggest that you do feel some sense of confidence within yourself in this new school, and part of what you are worried about is losing that new sense of confidence, and having to again face the same kind of pain as the situation in the previous school, which must have been very terrible for you to have to endure.
After the class, it's pretty clear that what is being suggested is the reminder of that loss of friendship -- she has a "new class" and, literally, she goes upstairs (to the higher society of acceptance, at the "top" of the social ladder) and you are told that your class is "in the basement" (the lower society of those who are not accepted, who are isolated at the "bottom" of the social ladder). Based on you saying that she got popular and ditched you, certainly the dream reinforces that truth, and, again, it seems to suggest you have anxiety about your new school becoming like your old school, losing friends to "upper classes" of the social ranks, and finding yourself relegated to the "basement" of social acceptance.
In all, I'd say this reveals some very natural and healthy anxiety about this change in schools. At the end of the day, if you were not able to solve what happened at the last school, where you wound up feeling rejected, then you are probably experiencing some serious inner worry about the same thing happening in your new school.
So, I think your mind is trying to work out this transition to a new school, trying to deal with the hope of things getting better, the fear that things might return to a bad state of affairs. And, usually our minds grapple with this kind of stuff because we're trying to work it out -- meaning it might help to try to work on what happened at the last school, so you feel more at peace about your new environment.
I don't know what happened at your old school, but it sounds like it was very rough on you, and that leaves scars in your sense of inner confidence, can damage your self-esteem, and leave you anxious about trying to fit in, especially in today's school environments, which can be a lot like shark infested waters, where "fitting in" is supposedly the most important thing in the world.
In truth, finding yourself, being yourself, and loving yourself for who you are is what is most important, but school rarely supports such thinking, and school can be a brutal place to be in the modern world. I just encourage you to know that you are valuable and wonderful just being YOU, and that you can and WILL leave school behind you, so hang in there and survive it, stay healthy and strong, and know that the judgments of others is NOT what defines you -- it is YOUR opinion of you that matters most, so work to find your own voice, and then stay true to that voice, and you'll find that it's not following the crowd that matters, it's following your own path that will bring you to the destiny meant for you.

Based on what you have typed,omitted details or not,you seem to be connected to your past. Something within your psyche seems to be binding you to events regarding school. It may mean that you are anxious about school and things relating to it, or you may just feel insecure about yourself in that kind of atmosphere. In regards to everything else,you may mail me everything in full detail if you desire,so that I can make a proper analysis of your dream. It's kind of hard to be descript in a public forum-esque place is it not?
