Despite her strong feelings for Miguel, Mía and Miguel argue constantly when they first meet. During this time, Mía briefly dates Joaquin and later starts a relationship with Gastón, who works at the school as a prefect and, knowing Mía and Miguel are interested in each other, tries hard to turn them against each other.
