here's your jacket, miss.

So during class today I was sitting behind one of my classmates that had hung her jacket on her chair. The professor told us that we had a 5 minute break so I was busy looking at my phone. At that moment out of the corner of my eye I see my classmates' jacket fall off her chair because she had gotten up from her seat and it fell into this hole between where we were sitting and the wall (because where we sit is higher off the ground). I stopped what I was doing and reached for her jacket and said "your jacket..." I don't know what it is but I realized that a big part of me wanted her to know that I had picked up her jacket. I wanted her to know that I had done something nice for her. and she actually heard what I said and said "oh, thank you!" as she was walking out of the classroom to go to the bathroom. I am pretty upset at myself for wanting that recognition. I'm annoyed at myself. Yes it was my good and loving deed for the day but I made sure the kind act was known. And that's not what it's about. Sigh, four days and all I've come up with is this. Whacksauce.
