I thought that has been fairly obvious for a long time. Opposites attract. Mitty can't help but be attracted to Haru's spontaneity. There's also the fact that the hyper-competitive Mitty is unable to stand how Haru consistently outperforms her academically despite putting in next to no effort in school. It forces her to question her priorities in life. And in so doing, she realises the primary cause of such self-reflection: Haru.
So, there's an element of gratitude in her feelings towards Haru, for not leaving her alone, unlike almost everyone else in her life until she met him. Like you observed, there's no denying that Haru is the main reason Mitty now has friends, people she once thought she could do without.
