** Inverted and deconstructed with Ezequiel AKA "Zacki". At first, he was in love with Melissa, but later begins a relationship with Claudia. However, while she does love him back, she feels embarrassed to admit that she does because everyone considers him a "geek", and then he tries (the key word being ''tries'') to act like a bad boy to impress her. Professor Ortega has to talk to Zacki about being himself no matter what others think, and to Claudia about accepting Zacki the way he is instead of forcing him to change just to please her.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: Manuel's last plan to get Adrián expelled from school blows up in his face [[spoiler: when Patricia decides to become TheScapegoat instead in order to force him to confess.]]



* GoldDigger: Sofía and her daughter Erika.
* GreenEyedMonster: Manuel. For most of the story he's shown to be extremely jealous of Adrián, especially because Patricia is in love with him.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: Erika.]]



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Melissa might be spoiled and a rebel most of the time, when it comes to help her friends she's always there.
* LaserGuidedKarma: While Manuel manages to be a KarmaHoudini for the most part of the story, [[spoiler: in the finale he finally gets his just desserts: when his last plan to get Adrián expelled blows in his face, in the graduation he's left all alone, friendless, with nobody to congratulate him, while the others are warmly surrounded by their friends and family]].



* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: El Gato's real name is Elías Mujica.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Professor Ortega, who downplays Principal Aguirre.

* SadistTeacher: Played with. Principal Aguirre tends to seem like this at times, but it's more due to the fact he tends to be blinded to some of the students or is easily swayed than any actual ill intent.
** His replacement, Principal Chacín, plays it more straight, as she seems focused on making the students' lives as miserable as possible in her short ternure.
