There is a fine line between love and hate. Kanae has admired Shuu and wanted Shuu's regard for a long time. Kanae tries to gain Shuu's attention through perusing him, and that just doesn't work. You noted that Kanae didn't like Shuu at first. Shuu then did something to win Kanae's affection. Once Kanae's affection was won, Shuu ignored him.

Shuu's personality is such that he ignores those that adore him, he also ignores those who hate him. Chie and Kaneki both showed Shuu that they could appreciate him as a photo subject and as an object of admiration, but also that they could reject him if he did not live up to those standards. Shuu persues their admiration.

Kanae is being manipulated by Eto, she taps into his resentment towards Shuu never returning his regard.
