Saku doesn't really like Roxas. She's acting like it's water under the bridge, but when they first met, she felt pressured super-fast to talk about something she didn't want to talk about, something private, and it really built to a head from annoyance to something else when he practically accused her of lying to cover the situation up. Essentially, by choosing when, how, where she reveals her personal situation to, she can keep an illusion of control in a situation that she's got very little actual control over. Without control, she feels very -- at a loss, extraneous, etc? So by having her hand forced, she was feeling overwritten, like her wishes didn't matter. Especially after the fact, when she tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and explain why she'd been hurt by it, and he called her an idiot. She'd called Bo to deal with it more because she needed breathing space before she completely freaked out, and because Bo and Roxas were already friends, and when she came back she was doing a lot of faking being okay. The fact he's in a similar situation interests her, but not enough to make up for the really personal exchange there, and she views him as a threat. What she's doing now is mostly playing nice -- she was honest about preferring his situation with Sora's to hers with Bo, but she's got a lot of faked joviality because she doesn't want him going and telling just anyone about it (ie, taking more of the situation out of her control again), and because she wants to get his number and find out HIS weak points before making him an enemy. She may or may not start to feel the okayness/etc with him over time anyway (heaven knows she's done it before -- see Haseo, who she pretended to be getting along with when she hated him and ended up pretty much loving him), and some of it was already edging on the real, but right now she's mostly being calculating.
