That was how their friendship started.
Everyone soon thought there was something between them, but only Belle, Michael and their friends knew that both hadn't gotten to that stage yet.
They visit the library and study, use the same table during break and slowly the enormous amount of girls fan-girling over his beauty reduces.
They started making rumors that they didn't want his girlfriend to misunderstood their intentions.
Michael didn't correct them and Belle doesn't seem like she minded it.
Actually, she was glad they stopped. She had slowly started to like him and she knew his feelings were mutual, but just a little more.
A little more patient for them to graduate from school and enter the university. Even if he didn't take the initiative to ask her out, she would do it.
He's just such a good guy that she didn't want to lose him. A very serious type.
