To Go Or Not To Go?

Shayna was just bumming around the hospital. she was doodling on her father's rough notepad. she didn't really feel like walking around to say hi to the children.
"shayna, what's wrong with you?" her father asked as he came back from his rounds.
"nothing papa. just stoning."
"aren't you suppose to get ready for the party. it's already 11."
"i know. but i dunno if i really should go... i mean... oh never mind." shayna said halfway before slouching back and doodling again.
"i'm sure colby wants to see you." shayna thought about it for a while... yeah. she is going to see colby and not colin. why is she so paranoid when she can just simply ignore him for the duration of the party and just focus on colby? yeah.. she should do that... so shayna stood up and packed up her bag.
"where are you going now?" Mr. Fong asked.
"to the party."
"really?"
"yeah. i figured why try to hide from someone when i can ignore him." shayna said with a smirk.
"alright. be back early." Mr. Fong said as he hugged his daughter.

meanwhile...

colin was getting ready for the party. he decided to slip on something light and comfortable. maybe he'd go to the driving range after that and whack some balls... then go to the gym and sweat it out... then go for a swim at the club pool... then have dinner at the Meragné, the club's finest restaurant, all alone. wow. what a life. as he was about to leave the house, the phone rang.

"hello?" colin said, cheerfully, almost forgetting his predicament with women in his life.
"colin. this is megan." colin's joy dropped from an all time high to a trench low.
"oh hi." he finally managed a two worded sentence after some time of silence.
"hey, i just wanted to apologise for being so quick tempered yesterday. i should have listened to your explaination. hope you can forgive me."
colin rolled his eyes and then finally replied, "yeah i guess i should have been honest to you that i don't really wanna see your parents at this stage in time of our relationship. it's going too fast." then there was this moment of silence where colin thought he heard some murmuring in megan's background.
"alright. we'll only meet my parents when you're ready. but promise me this, please don't go seeing another woman behind my back anymore. you know you can tell me anything. i love you." megan finally replied.
"alright. i promise.... love you too." that came out a little forced.
"wanna meet up for dinner?" megan asked.
"i can't. colby's having this gathering at the country club. i have to be there."
"oh. would you want me to go with you?" megan asked. colin thought for a while... shayna's gonna be there... if megan's going then... oh no.
"it's kinda like a family thing. tell you what, i'll meet you after work tomorrow?"
"okay then. have fun. call me." megan answered, her voice in a rather upset tone.

finally when he managed to put down the phone, colin heaved a sigh of relief. he picke dup his bag of clubs and headed out the door.
