Maya impatiently tapped her fingers against the computer desks.
"We don't have all day, cowboy," she said irritably.
They had been waiting for the computer to start up for 5 minutes now and Maya's clear dislike towards technology was evident.
"We could just write the assignment by hand!" She exclaimed.
The project was due in half an hour. Lucas' constant smirks were doing nothing to reassure her worry.
"Relax, Maya, so it takes a while to start up. But typing out 2 pages is a lot less harder than writing 2 pages out by hand."
"Maybe for you," Maya grumbled.
"Don't tell me you can't type fast," Lucas said incredulously.
Maya glared at him, saying nothing of her lack of computer skills. It wasn't that she didn't know how to use a computer, it was just that she preferred doing things by hand rather than technology. She was old-fashioned. The only part of technology she thoroughly enjoyed were cameras.
Lucas tried not to laugh, and failed.
"Wow," he stated, shaking his head.
"It's not funny. And I don't really have a computer at home sooo...no. I can't type fast. Okay?" She said defiantly, with just the smallest touch of hurt. (Almost imperceptible, but of course he picked up on it.)
"Woah, I wasn't trying to offend you, Maya," he held up his hands in surrender. "It's just, I don't know, I sort of assumed you would be really good with computers. But that's okay, if you'd rather write it out, you can." He conceded.
She inwardly smiled at his near-apology then responded, "No, no, it's fine. We can do it your way, Ranger Rick. Let's use the good ole computer," she adopted a Texan accent, "just like they do in the good ole South."
Lucas curled his lips and shook his head, a light chuckle escaping his lips.
They both glanced back at the computer screen, which was still stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen.
"These computers are almost as slow as you, Maya," Lucas taunted.
She rolled her eyes. "Oh, the joys of technology."
"Patience, ma'am," he replied, the exact same moment as the power in the computer lab abruptly went out.
Lucas groaned in displeasure. "You've got to be kidding me."
Maya, on the other hand, looked extremely smug.
"What's that you were saying?"
