(Tyler's pov)

After Josh left, I was called downstairs to see my mother.

When I got there, she was sitting at the kitchen table reading a Catholic book, which was called Angels and Saints, a biblical guide to friendship with God's Holy ones.

I sat next to her at the table.

"You wanted to see me mother?"

"Yes." She replied; putting down the book while removing her glasses.

"What is it you want to speak with me about?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday night Mass, and I'm sure you know what is to be expected of you?"

"Yes mother. I am to take Holy Communion tomorrow night."

"That's right." My mother said. "Should we practice or do you think you are prepared?"

"Mother, I've taken communion ever since I was 12. I got this."

"Very good. I just wanted to see if you were ready for it."

"Yes mother."

"How did I go with your lesson with Josh?" She asked.

"It went great."

My mother smiled.

"Wonderful."

I was allowed to leave the table and go back upstairs.

When I got back to my room, I checked my phone and saw that Josh had texted me on Instagram.

spookyjimdun: hey tyler this is josh

I texted back.

catholictyler: hi josh

spookyjimdun: i had a great time learning

catholictyler: i had a great time teaching you

spookyjimdun: ^^

I smiled when he sent that.

spookyjimdun: i never got to ask, but how old are you?

catholictyler: i'm 17

spookyjimdun: wow

catholictyler: how old did you think i was?

spookyjimdun: idk probably 16

catholictyler: how old are you?

spookyjimdun: i'm 21

When he told me that, I was shocked. I couldn't believe was educating a 21 year old boy on Catholicism. It blew my mind completely.

catholictyler: wow! we're 4 years apart!

spookyjimdun: ikr

I busted out laughing while having the phone in my hand.

catholictyler: you're funny josh

spookyjimdun: and you're really cute

That text blew me away a bit. He thinks I'm cute and I don't know how to respond to that.

Does he like me?

spookyjimdun: tyler?

The vibration on my phone brought me back to the conversation. I started texting him again.

catholictyler: sorry. It's late I need to do evening prayers with my family soon

spookyjimdun: i understand. we can talk later if you want

catholictyler: that would help out a lot

spookyjimdun: okay. ttyl

catholictyler: you too. and i hope i'll see you at saturday night mass tomorrow night

spookyjimdun: don't worry. i'll be there. like always

catholictyler: lol okay! bye josh :)

spookyjimdun: <3

The last thing Josh left was that. It left me with a lot of questions. And better yet, answers.

Does Josh have feelings for me?
