I rejected him and I regret it?

Last year this guy liked me (we're 15 almost 16 btw) and I didn't know how to feel about it. I was super shy and I've never had a boyfriend before. I've never even had like a guy friend before so I didn't know what to do.. Long story short he told me he liked me like a week after we started texting.. The next day was awkward and he apologized and said he was high when he sent it.. I think I liked him back but I didn't really know how to express it and I just hid it from him and myself.. It was ok after that. Then he asked me to the movies, and I said yes at first but then the day of I sent him this gigantic text rejecting him. I basically said it's not you it's me, and I wasn't ready for a relationship (which was true). He tried to be my friend after that but I ignored his texts (he wouldn't pursue me in person) bc I was super shy and embarrassed about rejecting him. I actually hate myself ahaha there was literally no reason for me to push him away like that.
Now, I'm really starting to catch feelings for him. Whenever I see him I get all weird inside. I don't know what it is.. I see him in the halls and we have lunch together. I feel like I always had feelings for him but I was too shy to do anything about it. Now I'm realizing that I really do like him, even though I don't know him that well. I texted him hey yesterday. We just had a basic conversation like "how's school" and stuff. He asked me how my day was too. Then he said he'd see me tomorrow (he didn't even acknowledge me today when I passed him in the hallway) and goodnight. I said goodnight back and he hasn't texted me since. I'm getting so upset over this it's insane haha. I've literally been checking my phone all day to see if he's texted. I don't know what to do. I don't know if he still likes me or not, or if he's still not over me rejecting him. He's kind of quietish so it must've taken him a lot of courage to express himself to me. Yes, I know, I'm a horrible person... What should I do? :/
