Jocelyne Danchick, now a successful choreographer living in France, met the 11-year-old Jackson at Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood in 1970 after his family moved to California following the success of the Jackson 5.
She said that they were drawn to each other as both felt isolated and soon developed what she called the “biggest crush on each other”.
“Of course, at 11 we didn’t smooch all the time, but there was lots of flirting,” she told the Daily Mirror.
“He was timid but the sweetest, funniest kid. And though we never declared our love – you don’t at that age – we both had feelings.”
Danchick, who is now married, said that her own mother had been a fashion designer with famous friends including Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
“I never fitted in and it was the same for Michael when he moved from Gary, Indiana, to LA after he and his brothers signed for Motown,” she said.
“The other kids ignored him because of his fame and quietness and me because I was a shy flower child.
“So while we weren’t in the same class, we still felt a connection and just hit it off.
“You know what first love is like. We both had twinkles in our eyes.”
