Throughout the first season, Lupita's in a relationship with Nico, a poor Jewish boy who studies at Elite Way. Although they're in love with each other, Nico's family opposes the relationship, mainly because Lupita isn't Jewish. They even bring an old girlfriend of Nico back to Mexico, hoping the girl will break Nico and Lupita up. At the end of the first season, because Nico's family is sending him away to Israel to study, Nico and Lupita have a symbolic marriage, witnessed by all of their friends. Nico leaves to Israel, promising to write to Lupita and to come back as soon as possible to marry her for real. Lupita is heartbroken that he's leaving, but has confidence that they'll work out in the end.
