“Pizza bagels are in the oven and I’ve got a liter of every time of soft drink you could ever want. And how could I forget that there is a whole sub sandwich in the fridge for us to devour. Now, pop in NBA 2K15 because I’m about to whoop your butt!” Ashton hollered, hopping over the back of the couch and plopping his bottom on the cushion. Parents were at some fancy dinner that didn’t concern Ashton so it didn’t make sense for him to tag along. Plus, with school just starting up, it had been a couple weeks since he and Kaleb had some bro time. This was their junior year, and this was going to be one of their most important years yet. Especially for Ash - scouts would be coming to the game and hopefully he could get a scholarship somewhere. He was determined to get better grades this year but that was easier said than done. “It’s been too long, bro. Too long.” Ash had also been worried about Kaleb; he’d been distant lately and that bothered him. Life wasn’t as fun without his best friend. “Hey, is everything good with you? You seem a little off.”
