To be honest, I'm shocked at the use of foreshadowing here. The first time reading it doesn't look like there's anything the matter with Usa's friend in the first scene Her facial expressions are relatively normal considering she just got body slammed to the ground, and the author deliberately draws attention to Usa. But if you look closely at the friend's face you notice she has a few mysterious droplets of sweat and a slight blush for about 3 panels during and after Usa bumps into her, she'd have to have been standing right in front of Usa's locker, and Usa takes note of her gym clothes haphazardly stuffed into her bag, even though she seems like the type of person to do that anyway. It's not until the end when all of the pieces of the puzzle come together.
