Maybe they're bi, I don't know. It's always been like that since I was a kid, girls are always closer together than boys. The fact they're not even roommates is I think a big sign they aren't a couple and the fact they drew their relationship back a bit out of the spotlight. That's where all these "they hate each other" comments come from.
I could also dive deeper into Noel's mindset of being unpopular and not having a lot of friends growing up and suddenly having someone like Flare in her life so all those pent up emotions and new feelings come rushing over you after years of suppression but I'm not a psychologist.
