You sound like me. :) I get worried when I don't have a reply back. Okay...here's the deal:
He might not have seen your text (had this happen once...drove me up the wall...I thought he wasn't interested anymore. Not the truth. He texted me two days later asking why I had been so quiet.)
He could be busy (Seriously, it does happen. This does include sleeping by the way. I texted at noon one day and didn't get a response until the next day. It turned out he had fallen into a deep sleep and texted me as soon as he woke up).
Other reasons...Who knows. But it doesn't mean he's not interested.
Tips: Don't text him for a while. Wait for him to text back. Don't spaz yet. The longest I had a break from texting a guy was two weeks then he texted me all "WTH!?!?! Where did you go? I was worried." If after two weeks (at max) he doesn't text then send him a quick text asking what's up. If he is interested I doubt that he will make it the two weeks. Whatever you do don't spam him with texts. Wait for a response. If one isn't sent back within a reasonable time (days/weeks max) then send him another one. Don't spaz over it (which is extremely easy to do). Text other friends, write in a journal, etc. Basically, keep yourself busy for the moment.

I'm sorry if I sound rude, that isn't my intention, but do you suffer from paranoia?
Immediate response or not doesn't mean anything, there could be a thousand reasons a person doesn't respond immediately.
For instance, there are days I just don't feel like carrying around my phone, period, it's annoying to have people know where you are at all times, what you're doing, who you're with.
Or even in school or at work, I've had to hang up on my mom or else my boss/teacher could get mad, and it's just rude to answer the phone interrupting a teacher or even worst, your boss.
I used to be like that when I was like 19 but fortunately, I realized that men are very turned off by that kind of "why didn't you answer back 5 minutes later" attitude.
Take it easy and relax, and just mention next time you see him about your study plans and ask subtly what happened. Don't go all "Why didn't you show up?" on him, first ask how his week was, maybe something happened at home, who knows.
Good luck.
Girl often misinterpret lack of immediate response as a lack of interest. Dudes get distracted. We lose our phones, our phone service providers crap out, we turn off our phones, etc.
Let it slide. Contact him later in the week.
He may just be shy or not sure how to respond to a friendly text from a woman. Or he just didn't have time today! Don't jump to conclusions. Wait and see what he says when you see him next.
