I do not by any means mean to discourage any form of interaction between OCs or main characters; I merely wish to advise writers to avoid having it be romantic or long-term past friendship in nature. For example, Gules and Weiss have known each other for some time, but have not really been friends - merely distant acquaintances. Ash and Ruby will be close enough friends for her to help him build Aurum's new weapon, but not best friends, nor romantically interested in each other. Aurum and Blake will get along by something of a necessity, since Aurum recognizes that she is a Faunus fairly easily, but they will not be good friends. None of my characters will appear in main plot scenes, bar anything involving the school as a whole (initiation, the dance, the invasion at the end of Vol 2...).

But, how you write your story is entirely up to you. If you want to involve one of your OCs in a romance with a MC, that is your prerogative - and I will still read it if you write it well, or if I am asked to beta for it (which I enjoy doing and like to think I am good at ;P ).
