Why on earth is she talking about a secret she doesn't want anyone to know especially to a guy like Touma. That's like telling a stranger you had a secret affair that you don't want anybody to know.
  

Spoiler for chapter 7 and light novel vol 1:

It's been a while since I've seen volume 1 of the light novels, but if I remember correctly, I think she did mention her clones to Touma during their meeting on the bridge. Their conversation was longer in the novel and they were talking about the "goals" of the Academy City or something. I don't remember the actual conversation in the light novel, but I don't think her mentioning it was that out of place as compared to their conversation in the railgun manga.
I can understand the Index manga and anime dropping that part of the conversation, so the viewers could be more surprised when they reach the volume 3 arc.
