So Gerry arrived to kill him so Javier took a gun and Gerry shot him on accident, but little did he know, he left on a motorcycle.

## Relationships

### Sofía

Raúl initially knew she was different from others, and eventually started liking her. Every time his friends would make fun of Sofia, he hated it. Unlike many others, Raúl cared about Sofía and how she was feeling and doing. When Sofía was in the hospital, he was there and almost tried to pay the nurse just to see her and told the nurse to tell him when Sofía feels better. Later on, Raúl was the first person to ask Sofía for help to try to find out who the hacker was. It is revealed throughout the ending of the season that the reason he became the hacker was because he loved Sofia, he was jealous of the relationship between Sofía and Javier, so he encouraged her thoughts that Javier was the hacker. They have slept together one time and have kissed multiple times.

In season 2, after the school finds out he was the hacker, he still came to school even though people would try and fight him because he wanted to be with Sofia. He tried asking for forgiveness but she didn’t accept his apology. He got sent into the office and he saw her waiting outside and asked if she was worried about him. Gerry gave Raúl advice and told him to give her what she want which was finding out who the avenger was so he offered to help her find him so she could forgive him but she didn't forgive him yet. Sofia went to his house to tell him how she felt when he betrayed her, she then later comes to his house because she knew he was hiding Gerry but he tells her he escaped and she helps him find him. They go back to his house they were fighting and ended hooking up (they hooked up again later on)In the morning she over hears Quintanilla say he’s blackmailing him and she gets mad that he didn’t tell her truth but importantly that she trusted him again. (They slept together 3 times and kissed multiple times)

## Physical Appearance

## Personality

Raúl initially comes as the stereotipe of a rich kid whose father is a very powerful politician. He seems disconnected with some laziness and apathy from what happens to others, irresponsable, inmature, self-centered and materialistic often trying to use his father's money to get what he wants. However, once he's revealed as the hacker, Raúl's true colors start to come to surface.

He is actually vengeful, cunning, deceiver, manipulative and very cold to the point of being a complete sociopath. Hacking the school was the result of a cumulation of many factors, such as the abuse he suffers from his father, the conversation he has with Sofía about how everyone lies and pretend to be someone they're not, the realization that his "friends" never truly saw him as something more than just an ATM, and later learning the mental breakdown of Sofía and how no one simpathized with her situation. All these events led him to grow tired of lies and as a consecuence he orchestrates a plan exposing all the secrets of his social circle, inclusing his own parents.

Despite this, Raúl has shown genuine concern for Sofía, with who he empatizes and shows a kind and compassionate side with her. Raúl feels Sofía is the only one he sees as someone like him, a person who's been a victim of society who's grown in a place surrounded by lies and talks behind her back, being the only who went to visit her while she was in a rehab institution. He's said that she was the reason he started the hacking, as a vengeance for both and as a way to give her a world without lies, where everyone is absolutely honest and transparent. His love for Sofía is mainly his driven force to endure everything he goes through because he wants to be next ot her.
