Well she only has one friend really...Why didn’t she call the Burkes coworkers or Burkes? She’s never once called those two friends in the story. Every hole you poke can be equally applied to your own theory.
She said friend because it was an escalating internal monologue. She says she shouldn’t be fooling around with “young students” and then leads into saying she shouldn’t be doing it with “friends” either. The stream of consciousness continues to her saying all that doesn’t matter because she’s stopped doing it anyways.
She was rattling off reasons she shouldn’t be doing things with the MC. This thought process is backed up by her actions where she goes out of her way to not be physical with him and actively pushes Jill on him (texting her when he’s in the library and then looking jealous from the wings).
That scene is her inner monologue justifying not being involved with the MC. She then goes ahead and does anyways and has a very visceral response to breaking her plan of not being involved.
