Luke

Lucas was a 16-year-old boy. He was tall, dark-haired, with black eyes and freckles on his cheeks. He had never had a girlfriend and had never kissed anyone. He had a friend named Maricarmen, also 16, and they had known each other since they were little. Lucas's parents were very good friends with Maricarmen's parents, and Maricarmen and Lucas had been in love since childhood, which meant they spent most of their time together. They lived mostly in town since their parents and Maricarmen's parents lived on the ranch, but because Lucas and Maricarmen were students, only the two of them lived in town at the house of Rodolfo, Lucas's father. A woman named Lupita, an old acquaintance of Rodolfo, looked after them. Although Lucas and Maricarmen liked each other, neither of them dared to say anything, but it was obvious they loved each other. Neither of them had ever had a girlfriend or had their first kiss; no, this was their first love.
