El has a massive crush on Angela that she doesn’t recognize as such due to her lack of life experience. She ends up spending a lot of time thinking about how pretty Angela is and daydreaming about the two of them being inseparable best friends (so much time that the “Angela loves me” universe in her head has extensive lore and subplots now), but in reality Angela is absolutely awful to her. Bonus points if the real interactions with Angela are erotically charged enough to give off the impression that El’s attraction is reciprocated, it’s just that Angela is not happy that she’s hot for a total loser and her desires are pretty brutal.
