Even though Emily is heading over to Maria, Chanel, Rudy, and Gavin (presumably, to talk to them about Rain), the focus remains on Drew and Debbie of all people.
I'm scared all this setup about how Emily and Rain should get together is going to lead to dramatic irony or something when they don't get together. Everything is ending up too perfect.
Then again... now that I think of it, Rain dating Emily, or even a rumor of Rain dating Emily, could be totally disastrous for her... especially when she doesn't want this attention with her new haircut.
Well, I don't think Debbie figured anything out, and Drew isn't going to start any rumor.
The one and only thing he could do would be to congratulate Emily... Like "Hey, you and Rain are such a nice couple!". In other words, he could sail the ship. ~
But yes, if somehow a rumor starts, things won't be easy for our Rain... :c
So whom is Debbie talking to in panel 1 then? It's not like Holly is standing off to the side there. Also it's been close to two months since Emily got close to Rain. While it's been less time than that that Emily's been hanging out with Rain's group (and she still doesn't a lot of the time), I would think that Debbie would have noticed by now. That said I could see how Emily going to an anime convention with Rain could definitely seem to have come out of left field.
Debbie's just kind of thinking out loud in the first panel.
And while she surely has noticed that Emily's been hanging around Rain and her friends a lot lately at school, she probably didn't know that they were keeping in touch outside of school too. Especially not with things like anime conventions which seems out of character for her as far as Debbie knows (much like Emily "losing her phone and owning up to it" as she pointed out on the previous page, or Emily spending time around the less popular, primarily queer group). Basically, Debbie knew and thought it was weird that Emily'd been around Rain more, but new information paints everything in a suspicious new light for her.

Drew put 2 and 2 together and figured out something logically (and probably accuarte)
Okay the world is gonna end, trigger the four horsemen cause heck just froze over.

Very much reminds me of Edward Elric.
I always thought Ed had very feminine hair.
