See also the irony of a large part of what we even know about Susie's character and her past coming from Noelle's blog posts about her, she has been observing Susie for so long, she has made note of the Susie's lack and her shame, she has been one of the earliest people to say 'I do not believe she is as bad as people say she is', all that lore people readily pick up for Susie to use elsewhere didn't just drop down from nowhere those are accounts by Noelle.
Susie's association with the 'good kind of scary' to Noelle, the Dess-Susie parallels, Susie's view of Noelle being completely based on one act of kindness, the push and pull between keeping up the illusion of the dream and wishing Noelle could be let into her world too even as that world gets more dangerous - they've already been so intermingled as characters before the story begins and every new plot beat complicates them more. Susie is a have-not who have been told time and again she isn't good enough and kept out of the good things in life, Noelle is the "top shelf" popular girl who represents all those good things in life, Noelle shows signs over and over of being repressed and dealing with trauma through forgetting and hiding it away in memory, Susie has growing arcs of confronting shady business head on and hating when things are kept from her, there is almost too much to explore with these two, and people do explore similar things in other pairings.
