In this scenario, MC didn't have a clue and she doesn't act like a girl with a bf.

How does one act like a girl with bf?
She is his classmate and a good friend and was concerned about him. Why should if or not she is in a relationship with someone matter there?
First off all, a girl doesn't have to tell anyone whether or not she has a bf. And there is no way to "act like a girl with bf" until someone specifically brings that topic up. Unless a girl is proposed to or asked about whether or not she is in a relationship, there is no reason, or method, for her to put a stamp on forehead that says "taken." That doesn't even make sense. What is she supposed to do? Not talk to any other boy? WTF? Women aren't only concerned with having a boyfriend you know. Its perfectly fine for them to be concerned about some boy they are acquainted with who has a history of not taking the best care of themselves.
Second, you only saw a late night exchange between them and you are assuming she has been keeping him out in the dark and off the loop and toying with him to feel good about herself or pass time or whatever. There was no indication in the show that the main character didn't already know that she had a boyfriend. The only thing confirmed by the show was that he is interested in her, is jealous of her boyfriend (this suggests he knew beforehand, btw, but doesn't confirm it) and he has some insecurities about his financial situation which is something Masakaki uses to lure him in. Given how normal the MC's reaction was to seeing her boyfriend, I am sure he knew beforehand that she had a bf, the only thing he didn't know was that he was around at that time too. Which isn't her fault, since she was just there to drop the notes.
And you don't even know if her BF goes to the same college or is acquainted with the MC. Even if he does, it'd be rude of him to stick around her always and try and monopolize all her actions. As the show portrayed him, he is the type who lets his GF go help a friend in need even late at night. And his GF is perfectly happy with him. Its not that couple's fault if the MC just so happens to like the girl and is jealous of the boy.

If he had money, he could go to the kegger. If he had money, he could get a cellphone.) It's only ep. 1 so we get to see how she develops later on. However, being how this title is all about money and the power of control, I wouldn't expect her to be a ray of hope.
People don't use malice nowadays as you can't predict how the other person will react.

??? She said it herself. The boy doesn't have anyway for her to contact her since he doesn't have a phone. There is a test tomorrow. You are pretty much the only person in the world who can help your friend. What's so wrong about going to meet him late at night when your schedule permits? Why is it wrong? It is wrong of you to imply that she had hidden intentions just because it so happened to be late at night.
Details such as "she came to his second job, not first; she is texting someone while talking to him" bla bla have no relevance here. Its amusing how you can scourge up those details but miss that she had no way to help the MC except by visiting him in person since he doesn't have a phone. And she is a college girl with a boyfriend. She has to be busy. She helped him out when she had time. The time happened to be during night (presumably it must have been towards the end of the day when classes ended anyway) and during his second job. The MC should be (and is) glad that she took her precious time to give him the notes. Would you rather have her never show up and let the guy fail because she already has a boyfriend?
As for the texting, it's perfectly natural for people to write a text while engaged in a casual chat. And she didn't walk in on him with her cell in hand, typing away the text, which would have been rather rude but still not morally wrong with the implications you are drawing. She got a text while talking to him and she replied to it. Big deal. There was nothing important enough during that conversation that called for her undivided attention on the MC.
What do you mean by her actions are different? Different from what?
Why do her actions not add up? Rather, why do they need to, and to what do they need to, add up? She helped a forgetful classmate who just so happens to be of opposite sex. What's wrong with that?
And the subliminal temptation stuff isn't her fault. She doesn't even know he sees her in romantic light. She has a boyfriend already anyway. It's the MC who is insecure and Masakaki is the one who vocalizes his dark inner thoughts to tempt him. That you attribute you to an innocent girl who risked putting her relationship in jeopardy to help out a classmate who doesn't take care of himself as much as he should is unforgivable.
Please stop making it sound like a girl shouldn't talk to a boy unless she is free to fuck.
