==Biography==
===Background===
Javier used to be a football player in his former high school, but that came to an end after he accidentally murdered Guillermo Garaby, a new teammate, by pushing him off a balcony during a rite of passage. His father Damian Williams, also an influential businessman, managed to pull some strings and bribed the other players into staying quiet. He doesn't want to play soccer ever again because he feels bad but his dad pressures him into trying to play. Because of this, Javier transferred mid-year to El Colegio Nacional. Unbenknownst to him, however, Raúl León, a wealthy student from said school got ahold of his secret while initiating his actions as the hacker, planning to give Sofía what she previously cited to him: a world without secrets.
===Season One===
Javier first appears when Gabriela, the Biology teacher, introduces him to her students who correctly guess that he is the son of Damian Williams, although Javier, who kindly refuses to talk about it, just simply gives a short introduction before sitting down. He gets paired up with local outcast Sofía Herrera since the other students refuse to work with her because of her unstable behaviour. Later on, Javier spots Sofía on the roof and goes to her, mistakenly believing she is going to kill herself, to which Sofía laughs at and goes on to tell him that she can observe by introducing him to the students's daily routines. He also refuses the gym teacher's requests for him to play for the school's football team.
Later on, they sit next to each other during a presentation hosted by Quintanilla to teach the students how to properly use their cellphones. However, instead of the topic itself, a compromising video is shown revealing that one of the popular students, Isabela de la Fuente, is a trans woman, prompting the other students (particularly Gerry, who was the one who uploaded the video on the hacker's orders) to start judging and cruelly mocking her and her boyfriend Pablo to publicly break up with her, pretending not to know this piece of information. After the incident, he joins Sofía in telling Natalia that she knows that she had stolen Isabela's phone to keep her secret safe as well, while also confronting Gerry for uploading the video of Isabela. Javier also asks Sofia to let him tag along in the investigation; she agrees.
The following day, per Isabela's request, the hacker has leaked the secrets of Raúl, Gerry, Natalia and Pablo to get back at her former friends; Raúl, who had picked Isabela, has a corrupt politician father, Gerry, who uploaded the video, had been watching gay porn (leading the students to believe he is gay), Natalia, who stole Isabela's phone, is revealed to have been emblezzing the money collected for the NONA party and last but not least, Pablo, who betrayed Isabela earlier, is exposed as an unfaithful boyfriend after nude pics of him imply that he has been cheating on Isabela, while they were dating, with another girl only addressed as "Honey Bunny". Nevertheless, Gerry still makes fun of Isabela over her gender identity, which evokes a violent fight between him, Pablo, Javier, Raúl and Natalia. They are all summoned to the principal's office to sort out their issues, while Sofia gets herself sent there intentionally, by criticizing Gabriela's "poor" handling of the situation, to investigate more. As both Sofía and Javier wait for their turns to meet Quintanilla separately, she shows Javier around the school and introduces him to Bruno, the head of the school's I.T. department. When it is Javier's turn, he tells Quintanilla that he said "no" to the coach because he is no longer interested in playing football. 
When Luis, a lonely student, falsely admits to being the hacker (so that Gerry, Darío and Ernesto won't bully him anymore), Gerry, believing Luis's confession to be true, decides to take revenge on him by beating him up. He, Darío, Ernesto and Pablo (most reluctantly) are overheard by Javier, who tries to alert Sofía, but is unable to contact her due to her cellphone having been confiscated during a class while texting the hacker about Luis. They eventually find him with Sofía, who knows he lied to protect himself, thus starting a cat-mouse chase that ends with Javier arriving at the perfect timing and deliberately crashing his car, buying Luis some time to escape and forcing the trio to flee the scene when a policeman, who is friends with Luis, approaches them. As Sofía and Javier drive back to the school, they laugh in embarassment about the incident, but Sofía thanks him because if it wasn't for Javier, Luis would've gotten in big trouble with Gerry. Javier is then called by his father, who is spooked by Sofía's directness when she brings up her father's supposed death. However, the situation gets worse when the hacker forces a public fight between Gerry and Luis. When Quintanilla finds out, he locks Gerry in the auditorium and tries to force the students to go home. As Gerry repeatedly pleads to be let out, Alex, a socially distant, yet openly lesbian student, inexplicably releases him, so the fight is resumed. The hacker forces Luis to provoke the entire students (including those already with their secrets revealed) when they send him lines to his cellphone for him to speak. Sofía, Javier and Luis try to escape in Javier's car, but he is quickly dragged out by Gerry. As Luis runs for his life, Javier tries to hold him back but he lets go of his grasp, catches up to Luis and hits him hard, knocking him over and causing him to hit the pavement. Luis is sent to the hospital and lies in a comatose state. She goes to Luis's room in the hospital, unlocks his fingerlock and finds a video of him confessing to his mother about lying being the hacker as he didn't know how to stand up for himself; Sofía uploads the video for everyone to see it and clear Luis's name.
Sofía is invited to Raúl's party and, even though she doesn't want to, she is forced to do so on the hacker's orders, telling her to await further instructions. She is accompanied by Javier. At the party, the hacker sends her a message to have fun with Rosita. Playing shot and kiss, she kisses Javier. Instructing Sofía to go up the roof, she finds Alex there, who reveals that the hacker had forced her to make Sofía jump off to the pool in front of everyone, threatening to make public Alex's secret if Sofía refuses. After a lot of objections from Javier, who finds this pointless, Sofía reluctantly jumps and the hacker stays true to their word in not revealing Alex's secret. Despite this, Javier angrily walks out of the party 
The next day at school, Alex thanks Sofía for what she did and shows her a video circulating around of her kiss with Javier. Isabela playfully teases Sofía about having a crush on Javier, which she denies. In class, she, Javier and the other students are shocked to discover that the hacker intends to leak all of their secrets by midnight at the NONA party. Sofía starts growing suspicious of Javier when he notices that a sticker of his backpack is missing and claims that he doesn't have a secret, which Sofía refuses to believe.
Gathering some clues from a truck, she teams up with both Javier and Raúl, who clash with each other over Sofia. They find out the truck belongs to Bruno, the school's head of I.T., and try to interrogate him, after realizing he is in league with the hacker. Bruno attacks Javier, somehow frees himself, and escapes. During the fight, she finds Javier's sticker on the floor, further increasing her suspicions that he might be the hacker. He angrily accuses Raúl of setting him up and storms off.
To make things worse, Sofía and Raúl uncover a key fact about Javier's past: He is responsible for the death of Guillermo Garaby, a former teammate of his, whom he accidentally pushed off a balcony to his death, during a rite of passage. A former football player and influential businessman, Damián, who is Javier's father, pulled some strings to cover up his son's crime (while simultaenously in the present Javier's aggresive behaviour manifests when he plays for the National School's football team, with Damian reminding him otherwise), which is the reason why he transferred late to National School in the first place. Javier claims he didn't push him off. Angrily pushing Raúl (who laughs off his threats) against a locker, the hurt Sofia tells Javier she doesn't recognize him anymore. Then the audience is shown a brief recap of the previous events during the hacking and how it was Raúl who had framed Javier to turn Sofía against him by secretly stealing his sticker and leaving it behind at Bruno's house (and secretly releasing him, while at first playing along with interrogating Bruno) to make it look like Javier was Bruno's accomplice and hiding the newspaper of Javier's crime inside his locker. Javier is not shown in the previous semester regarding the origins of Raúl's motivation to become the hacker as he wasn't a National School student yet.
Sofía and Raúl later report Javier's crime to Quintanilla and his alleged role as the hacker. As it turns out, in reality, Javier is innocent for being the hacker, but Raúl was nevertheless jealous of him and blackmailed the principal into expelling him by threatening to make public his affair with Susana, a married teacher. As Javier walks out of the school with everyone watching in shock and disbelief, he tells Sofía that she never trusted him.
However, during the NONA party, after Raúl admits to being the hacker to Sofía, she confidently smiles because she already knew and, to his surprise, Javier had recorded his entire confession, sarcastically complimenting him on the speech, before playing it downstairs to the shocked student body while he and and Raúl get into a physical scuffle. Raúl tries to escape but is met with hatred by the students who turn on him for ruining their lives, just as the outraged Pablo beats him up. As revenge, Raúl leaks the secrets of everyone else, including Sofía (who lied about her father's death), Javier, Alex (who is in a forbidden relationship with Gabriela) and María, Natalia's good-natured twin sister (who is revealed to be the girl Pablo was having the affair with), thus causing Isabela to end her friendship with her as well. The students consequently fight each other over the secrets that are revealed, just as Raúl seizes the altercation to escape. Before he tries to leave, however, Raúl is confronted by Gerry because of this, blaming him for Luis's death and demanding an explanation over his actions. Sofía and Javier try to calm Gerry down, to no avail. Raúl reveals to Gerry that Luis had a crush on him, further filling him with rage and guilt, and causing Gerry to attempt to shoot Raúl as revenge, but Javier is hit instead trying to intervene, much to Sofía's shock. A crowd of the students, who got attracted by the noise, forms around them and witness Javier's accident just as Sofía yells out at them to call an ambulance.
===Season Two===
Shortly after he is shot, Javier is taken by the ambulance, with Sofía following suit to join him. Javier is unable to attend Luis's funeral due to him still being at the hospital. Two months later, Sofía returns to the school and goes to the roof for a moment, while seeing Instagram stories from Raúl enjoying a "beach day" while having flashbacks of her past encounters with him. She is seen by Javier who is encouraged by Alex to make a move on her. During the ceremony hosted by the school to honor Luis, it is suddenly interrupted by a new hacker, only known as "The Avenger", who demands justice for Luis and scares the students into handing Gerry over to them. Meanwhile, Damian shows Javier around his new bedroom. 
After a confrontation with her mother for hiding the fact that her father is still alive, Sofía wanders off, seeking solace at Javier's place as she had nowhere else to go. Javier tells Sofía she can count on him for whatever she needs. Javier tries to kiss her, which Sofía quickly notices with her observing skills and shows some reluctance. They try a second time, but are interrupted by notifications of their cellphones from the Avenger, finding out that Darío and Ernesto were buried alive. They rush out and after some struggles, Sofía and Javier manage to locate and rescue them, before Javier is attacked by a hooded figure, revealed to be Raúl, who escapes.
The next day, as he, Sofía, Rosita, Darío and Ernesto are discussing who this Avenger might be, they are interrupted by Raúl's unexpected return to the school like nothing happened and is immediately met with hatred from most of the student body, particularly Pablo who violently beats him up until the fight is broken up by the gym teacher. Raúl and Sofía talk at the roof where he still tries to justify his actions, yet Sofía points out that, unlike him, she did not mess with people's lives before Javier, whom he is still at odds with, arrives and warns him to leave everyone alone. As he leaves the premises, Raúl is cornered outside and assaulted by some of the students, including Pablo who again does the same, and Sofía tries to interfere but to no avail. To get Quintanilla's attention, Sofía deliberately makes some of the cars's alarms go off, forcing Darío and Ernesto to hold Pablo back and the other scared students to retreat to their homes as to not face punishment.
She and Javier later investigate Luis's house to try and find some leads, coming across Luis's drawings but before they can do anything with them, they are interrupted by the arrival of Marta, Luis's mother, whose dog starts barking at the presence of both Sofía and Javier until the Avenger attacks again, throwing a rock at the window and setting the house on fire. As they are trying to escape, Sofía is briefly forced to relive the day of her father's alleged death from a fire, before she snaps back to reality. Sofía and Javier are unable to jump in the street, fearing they will be caught, so they jump from a roof to another, unnoticed, just as the fire brigade arrives.
When Rosita wants to throw a birthday party at her house, Sofía and Javier try to convince her to call it off, to no avail, fearing a possible attack from the Avenger. Later on, Javier introduces Sofía to a board he has made of the entire student body and staff of the school, making a timeline with the events that happened and determine the Avenger's identity, marking also Raúl, as Javier still has suspicions on him. They don't care who the Avenger is, what matters is to find out how they will attack next, making lots of crazy theories of how it could happen. They arrive at Rosita's house to start their investigation, but Raúl shows up as well and uses the investigation as an opportunity to get her back. Javier also becomes distracted when he unwittingly starts developing feelings for Natalia. Raúl takes Sofía outside to show her "something", and sees them kissing. Instead of thanking Raúl, she becomes angry at him as well, assuming he knew about this. By the time Sofía gets ahold of a bottle poisoned by the Avenger, however, it is already too late since María drinks from it, resulting in her overdosing and getting hospitalized, with Javier watching from a distance.
Sofía and Javier confront each other about having feelings for both Raúl and Natalia; Javier says he didn't expect that to happen and accuses Sofía of still sticking for Raúl, even after everything he did to the school. Sofía denies this and states that she will never forget what he did, yet it is very obvious that Sofía hasn't really gotten over him. Just then, they witness Natalia being thrown out of a van, still wearing the dress during her time at Rosita's birthday party. Sofía finds her story unconvincing as she believes that Natalia knew the Avenger's identity, particularly after noticing her ripped dress, a bruise in her arm and a broken heel, interpreted as signs that she tried to fight back. Javier thinks Sofía is only jealous of their relationship but she reminds of the bigger debts she owes, as she had been hanging out with a dealer and tried to extract money from Raúl, warning Javier that Natalia might be using him as an escape to her money issues, which Javier refuses to believe. He later turns to Natalia, offering his help to solve her money issues and they share a romantic kiss. When Nora asks Javier to bring Sofía back home, he arrives to find her outside of a nightclub. He misinterprets the situation, still believing that she had been spending time with Raúl when they were only trying to locate Gerry (who had been hiding from the police in Raúl's house but went missing), and the Avenger as well, her also adding that he might be helpful in the investigation. Nevertheless, Javier leaves to see Natalia instead and they sleep together.
The following day, Pablo spreads the news about Raúl and supposedly Sofía's involvement in harboring Gerry, as a result turning most of the student body against Sofía. Javier is obviously not surprised about this and keeps on spending time with Natalia (who did not show up at the school under the pretext that she had a headache), telling her he is planning on introducing her to his father, which unsettles her because he is the very same man she got paired up to when using a Sugar Daddy app as a way to get the money fast. He also witnesses Quintanilla's outburst to the students, who laugh at and record him, for refusing to acknowledge the hard work he has done to keep the school afloat, after being locked up by the Avenger in a restroom and stung by bees. 
Forced to continue the investigation all by herself, after cutting ties with Raúl for covering up the affair between Quintanilla and Susana, she comes across Javier while she is looking for Rosita, who is the Avenger's next target. He also asks about Raúl and, even though Sofía assures him that he is likely not coming back, Javier makes it clear he doesn't care as Sofía is free to do as she pleases. Sofía tells Javier that things don't have to be the way they are, only for Javier to point out that she always has her motives to hurt him, yet their sour conversation is more about how to handle investigations when Sofía tries to leave to find Rosita. Javier tells her she can't do everything by herself; she argues that it used to be like that, only for Javier to refute her by saying that by that time he wasn't even at the school. Sofía tells Javier that she only wants to be alone. Later, Javier shows up at a hotel room where he is shocked to find Natalia making out with his father (although only to get the money), misinterpreting the whole situation and causing the disgusted and outraged Javier to lash out and beat him up in response. He believes that Natalia was only using him to get to his father, also asking María for an explanation, yet she can only respond with silence. As a result, the angry Javier breaks up with Natalia who is frustrated because it is the last day she has to pay the dealers.
After Sofía is hospitalized due to her pills being switched by the Avenger, Javier visits her, having been told (alongside the other students) by the gossipy Rosita about her situation. They say how the other was right about both Raúl (who hid the affair from Sofía) and Natalia (who was caught by Javier making out with his father, although as a mean to get the money). Javier also tells her that he came because Rosita told everyone about Sofía's accident and that now she is popular. Sofía confidently says "Just as I planned". Confused about this, Javier is then surprised to realize that Sofía never actually took the pills and had staged her accident to make it look like she has fallen for the Avenger's trap. She removes her hospital clothes and changes to her normal ones and team up again to continue the investigation.
Intertwining the theft of Raúl's money and the words Sofía's father said to her ("The worst mistakes are made out of love"), Sofía and Javier immediately deduce that the Avenger is Alex: all her vengeances (in which she left behind leads) similar to the drawings were to make the students feel guilty as she was for Luis's death (including simulating her own kidnapping, spray-painting the lockers, setting Luis's house on fire and leaving Quintanilla locked up in the men's restroom) and since Gabriela was leaving for Spain, Alex stole the money in order to be with her, initially contemplating on abandoning her plans, but still going through with the act after she left without her. They then realize Gerry is in danger after seeing a poll Alex made to let everyone decide if Gerry deserves to live or die. They drive to the school, arriving just as Gerry is forced at gunpoint to jump off the roof after the entire student body votes against sparing Gerry. Before Gerry can make a choice, Sofía and Javier manage to stop him from doing so. Sofía understands that Alex has the right to be angry at everyone for Luis's death and not doing anything about it, but convinces her that this is not the solution and none of the things she does would bring Luis back. Alex is not a killer and she knows it. Realizing the monster she has become, the repented Alex drops the gun and hugs Sofía as she tearfully apologizes. Raúl slides the gun aside and asks Alex for his money back, Sofía telling him is hidden in Luis's locker. However, Javier takes the gun and aims at Raúl, wanting the money to save Natalia, who was kidnapped by the dealers for failing to meet their demands for the money she owes, but he defiantly refuses. Sofía deduces that he had tipped off María and Claudia over its whereabouts. Javier's yelling attracts the attention of María, Claudia and Susana who go to the roof where Susana and Sofía both tell him to drop the gun and he does, before the six of them get into a scuffle over the money bag (Susana, who refuses to give it back and tries to break them up, as does Sofía, Javier, María and Claudia who need the money to save Natalia's life and Raúl because it was stolen from him), resulting in Susana falling off the roof to her apparent death, while he, Alex, Gerry and Claudia look on in horror.
