My Snarky Tutor(Boyxboy)

Chapter Twenty-Six

(Noah's P.O.V)

I turned off the  water and stepped out of the shower, wiping my feet on the mat. I took my towel and dried off, lost In my own thoughts. I wrapped the towel around my waist and looked Into the mirror.

'Eric likes me.'

That thought has been stuck In my head, repeating itself like a broken record. I still couldn't believe It. I've spent all day trying to wrap my head around that fact but It seemed impossible. Although It made me smile all day like an idiot and my parents has been asking If I was alright. My face was still sore from smiling so much. When Sadie picked me up and asked for my address, I was so out of It. I had a feeling that Sadie knew something. After I got myself together, she asked again, I answered and she just had a smug look on her face. She didn't ask any questions on why I was smiling and spacing out. What did she know? Did she know that Eric liked me, I liked him or that he would confess to me? Or did she know everything?

I started brushing my teeth while checking myself In the mirror. I wonder If there were any physical features that Eric liked about me. My face was okay I guess. I've been told by my relatives that I has a baby face that I inherited from my mother so I looked younger than I actually was.

After I was done brushing my teeth, I rinsed out my mouth and took a closer look in the mirror. Did Eric like my eyes, my nose, my lips or my whole face? Or was It just my personality he liked and didn't care for my physical appearance at all?

"What's so good about me?" I wondered out loud.

I knew It seemed really negative of me to think like that but I couldn't help It. I couldn't think of anything good about me. But there had to be something. Eric wouldn't just like me for no reason.

After a few minutes of trying to think of something, I gave up and let out a huge sigh. I grabbed another towel from the closet In the hall and dried my hair,fixing my bangs which were stuck to my forehead. When my hair seemed messy and dry enough, I changed into my pajama pants and went under the blankets of my bed even though I wasn't tired. Not sure what to do, I stared at the ceiling.

It wasn't long before I was consumed by thoughts of Eric. Thinking about him was a great way to kill time but I never plan on thinking about him. I didn't need to because he just pops up in my mind out of nowhere. I love thinking about him so It was okay though.

I thought about all the things he said to me, his smiles and I mentally compared the way he was before when I first met him to how he was now. Come to think of It, Eric has really changed. I mean Eric is still Eric but there were so many sides of him he hasn't showed before. So did that mean he was opening up to me?

My face grew a bit warm and tingly at that thought and I snuggled up In my bed, replaying all those moments I had with him In my head. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I also found myself smiling again.

After what It seemed to be a while, my eyes flew open in realization and I sat up. Oh my god, Eric really did like me! Now that I think of It, there were so many hints he has given me! They were all there! How in the world did I miss those? Should I consider myself dense or just plain stupid?

'Yeah, maybe I am falling for them'

When Eric said that...was he referring to me?! So Eric...is falling In love with me...

My face was burning now. Eric was falling in love with me!

I pulled the covers over my face when a thought come to mind.

Or maybe, he liked someone else before and was referring to them at that time and began to like me afterwards. But the hints saying he liked me happened before he said that so he was referring to me...
