It's visually clear Natsuki suffers from trauma from her flashback of her mother when Umemiya announced "Family." Many individuals, and especially kids, wear a protective persona as a defense mechanism to ensure the concealment of their feelings and form of bonds. I know Natsuki is a sweet girl underneath her armor, and she will take a step each time bonding with the kids and staff inside the orphanage after she learns to acknowledge her harbored emotions and reasoning behind them.
And yes, no matter how much I despise wasting food, I use my imagination as to why Natsuki behaved that way. In this setting, reacting with anger is a terrible choice for obvious reasons. Instead, ask yourself why she didn't want to participate in her welcome party. Her face scrunched when Ume said "family", when she ran off from the other kids in the orphanage. These are all questions you should ask yourself, especially inside an orphanage setting.
