I'm attracted to him but I don't like / used to hate him...?

Have you ever been in a situation like this before? How did it work out for you?

I'm sort of ashamed to admit a sexual attraction to a guy I HATED when I was in Middle School (I'm a senior in high school now). I thought he was really rude and arrogant. I had to kiss him in a stupid game of spin the bottle via 7th grade and I was surprised that I kinda of enjoyed kissing him. I got angry with him after he was so rude/mean to me throughout 8th-9th grade and finally grew a backbone and told him off. I literally saw the color drain out of his face he was so shocked. He never bothered me again. After that ignored him for about 3 years and he did the same.

Now we're both "all grown up" and I sit near very near to him in class. The teacher scooted the desks back a bit after a couple days but in the beginning his shoulder and my back were almost touching. Recently, I realized that he keeps sneaking looks at me and I'm trying to fight it but suddenly I'm terribly attracted to him. I think he's equally horrified because we had a pretty hate-filled few years back in the day. He acts pretty strange around me and I'm avoidant but all I'm thinking is "DAMMIT WHY ME?!" We both "sneak" looks at each other but if he's half as aware as me he probably realizes that we are doing the same thing. ~face palm~ what a way to start senior year.
