For the first week, Ashton always found time to talk with Caleb. Partly because he himself was yet to go back to school. With Caleb getting busier in his college and Ashton getting back to the school things became slightly less complicated.
They each had less time, but worse was their free time were not always the ones that synced thus effectively decreasing their time together. They still connected, having at least one chat daily. Within another week, hourly conversations were reduced to a catch up of a few minutes. Fortunately enough, either of them were busy enough as to not feel bothered by this yet.
Caleb had plans to go home for the weekend, but somehow the coach of the team asked for extra hours for practice since last year the group performed terribly. Being new, he had no choice but to comply or else he would get on the wrong side of the coach. That impression would be a long lasting one.
