I think it was Lala's job to get Jesus to meet the agent, so in the pool her mission was complete and she really didn't care if Jesus saw her with DeAndre. I'm guessing Jesus figured this out at that moment or soon after. What I got from the movie is that Jesus' and Lala's relationship was a sham, at least for the period of time that the movie showed; she was basically hired to be (or continue to be) his girlfriend.
I don't believe that at all. Pay attention to the scenes where Lala and Jesus were riding the bus, going to school, and hanging out on the boardwalk. She was his homegirl and she did genuinely care about him but she was also a kid who made mistakes and got caught up in the temptations of a multi-million dollar contract and a better life for her and Jesus, which led to her selling out. The look on Lala's face when Jesus made his decision indicated she was ultimately proud of him for following his heart. She was no angel but she was not the company hoe either, like the one who was seducing Tommy Gunn in Rocky V.
