  • First Love – Part 47

    The next morning, Jose is at the church, talking to the fire chief. Another man meets them and they talk a few minutes about if anyone can prove Ramon is responsible. He asks if they can tell he’s a lawyer. “Not a lot,” Clayton admitted. “But I bet you’re hell in the courtroom.” “I’m known…

  • First Love – Part 29

    Jose organizes a search party. Clayton is allowed to go along because he speaks Spanish and doesn’t look particularly white. Also: We flash back to Claire and how she spent her day. She carried some cash in her pocket and more in her sock. Dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt, she thought she would…

    Deeply concerned about Claire, Craig calls Jose. He, Gabe and Luis arrive along with most of the boys from the group, as well as the men of the church. Two boys tell them that Claire had approached them, asking for drugs to plant on Maddie. They make it clear that they didn’t do it. “Did…

    After a delicious dinner, the teens are gathered in the den and realize that Claire may be missing.

    After a long, hot day of work, Jose surprises them with an outdoor shower—with a firehose. Though cold, it does the trick to help get the mud and sweat off them.

    While Maddie is getting a shower, the boys take her things, along with Patti’s, to another room. They make an improvised bed for Maddie with bean bag chairs and a sheet. The next day, they have their first lesson in making adobe plaster for the walls of the playhouse. Jose, with the help of his…

  • First Love – Part 24

    During the night, Maddie wakes up because Claire is pouring pee on her. Predictably, Polly sticks up for Claire, saying she’s only trying to be friends. At that, Patti blows up and yells at Miss Polly before helping Maddie get cleaned up. “She didn’t break your back,” Craig said angrily. “You’re too damn lively. Get…

  • First Love – part 23

    The group of teenagers find they share the same love of music. In an improvised jam session, they sing and play guitars, bang on the trunk and completely lose track of time until Jose tells them it’s time to go to bed. They said goodnight again and went back to their room, talking quietly about…

  • First Love – Part 22

    Luis makes a very subtle pass at Patti, telling her she is pretty. They teens find out that Gabe is Jose’s son. Conversation lagged for a few minutes until Maddie started humming. She’d had a song running through her head all day. The lyrics had gotten stuck, though, and she had to sing it to…
