Matsuri hasn't done anything really inappropriate and has in fact been very direct about what she wants. However, some of her ways of speaking seem fake / deliberate, like all her pointed questions about Komaki or at times seem to be low key guilting Wakaba into doing something.
It does seem like her character is basically the fluffy shoujoish romance character. Someone earlier in the thread asked if the green tea latte (I assume what we'd call matcha latte) had a symbolic meaning. If it does, I think the meaning is "something completely ordinary (green tea), but extra sweet." That's her presentation, but it remains to be seen how sincere she is.
Being socially calculating doesn't make you evil, but you can't blame people for suspecting when the main pairing was decided on the cover of chapter 1. Clearly Matsuri is an antagonist role of some type, but she could also be a soft antagonist who has their best interests at heart. That would give her reason to be direct about figuring out exactly what is going on between Komaki and Wakaba.
