Thanks !
My reading of the first bit was right, but I got the second part wrong indeed.
It doesn’t change the meaning, but the second part is in passive voice, right ? So this would be “if I’m told” ? We did “change topic” with that 俺は…

そ．．．そう思って
たの！？
ずっと．．
そんなこと
思いながら
ウチに来てくれてたの．．．！？
You thought so ? All this time, while you were thinking that, you came to my home ?
(not sure about the direction of that くれて here. Is she saying he was coming “as a favor done to him” ?)
石川君の言う通り
俺暗いし
地味だしさ
According to 石川君, I’m dark and reserved…
堀さんの株が下がったり
[That would ?] lower the public esteem of Hori…
There is no conditional and yet I want to put one for some reason.
迷惑かけてるんじゃないかなって思ったんだ
I thought I’d be an annoyance…
Is this “かな” an “I wonder” ? And then the whole thing is wrapped in って思ったんだ ?
だから別に
本気でそう思ってる
わけじゃ．．．
So, I was really thinking that but…
I don’t get what 別に means here. Also the じゃ again… Is it just some sort of final “but” ?

More like, “Just as Ishikawa-kun said”. Like, he’s not reporting Ishikawa’s opinion of him, he’s confirming it.
“[I am] lowering Hori-san’s reputation.” Active voice!
Nah, this one’s じゃない, but he’s trailing off because he catches sight of Hori’s facial expression. You can see the “surprise” lines next to his head. It’s 別に[…]じゃない - not especially.

What’s 気にすん?
Wait, I think I just figured it out. Contraction for 気にする? So would the translation be Why do you care about things like my popularity?
page 90
Confused about this bit of the conversation:
何よ気持ち悪い。。。つ宮村 透のこと好きなの？いっそ付き合えば
俺と石川君じゃつり合わなくない
Am I correct in thinking she asks about liking Tooru, then Miyamura gets confused and says he and Tooru arent going out?

Yep, to be specific, it’s a thing with the る column, where they turn into a ん as a slang. There’s an article on this in Tae Kim’s grammar guide: Casual Patterns and Slang – Learn Japanese
p90
Hori asks basically
“That’s disgusting. Are you in love with him or something? Why don’t you go out with him (instead)?”
Which Miyamura answers with
“Ishikawa-kun and I don’t go well together”
which is a weird response, you would expect something along the lines of “I’m not into guys”, or no answer at all, or anything of the sort, and that’s the point.
Also, btw, that’s a small っ.

Ah, ok yeah, I was having trouble with parsing Hori’s sentence.

Again, didn’t exactly read everything, but I suppose that the first part of the dialogue between Hori and Miya is the important bit.
Quick question about the last sentence.
page 93
とりあえず
男友達が出来た
宮村だった。
Whose thought is this ? Ishikawa ?
“For now, I made a male friend: Miyamura.”

p93
It’s reversed
“in any case, Miyamura gained a male friend”
The sentence’s just a bit inside out
