She went after Alvin because she liked him. It's a classic tale of two people who end up falling in love with each other but not at the exact same time. Alvin liked Paris but then once he became popular he drifted away from his feelings for her while her feelings for him got stronger as she got to know him throughout their time together as the pretend couple.
Sure it sucks to the people rooting for them to get together but its also essential to the story because if they hooked up too soon what is there left to do with the movie? Alvin had to go through that. He had to go through becoming the kind of jerk that those popular kids were to him so that he could finally wake up and realize that he never needed to be like them in the first place, and that he made a mistake. Which he did at the end when he made that great speech about it.
Paris went after him because she liked the real Alvin, and the real Alvin was the guy that stood up to all of those popular kids in that moment. Could the ending have been done differently? maybe, but it didn't really need a perfect ending. She had a lot to learn herself and she did when she finally dropped the loser she was with to go try to win back the one guy that she'd finally realized was exactly who she wanted. Alvin.
