When Lorena befriends the flamboyant and charismatic Juanga—a gay classmate—Julia begins feeling jealous of their relationship. Juanga is petty and sarcastic from time to time, but good at heart. His sexuality has alienated him from his family, and his parents frequently kick him out of the house, forcing him to crash on friends’ couches or stay at one of his many lovers’ homes. In spite of his surface frivolity, Juanga ends up being a real friend to Julia, and shows her empathy and compassion after her suicide attempt.
