{.....tag Angela......a year and a half post Breaking Dawn....}
The library was becoming like a second home for Lyndal. If she wasn’t studying for school she was researching wedding information and Visas. Today was a little of both.
After dropping her old returns in at the desk she moved through the small prefab building browsing the shelves. The history assignment she needed research on was about the Native Quileute tribe in the area and locals moving in. Of course she could ask Nash or his uncle, but she wanted to research the stuff on her own a little too.
Walking up and down the aisles she’s was pulling more books out about weddings and home stuff then school work. She found a book for Travis about the animals in Australia and one for her and Nash about the first year of Marriage. Turning the row of books she was too busy reading the back of the marriage book that she bumped straight into someone else.
“Dang, sorry.” She said clutching her books and looking up at a dark haired girl in glasses. “I’m such a dill.” She said hearing her accent echo she blushed a little.

Angela had come home from college for the weekend to visit her parents and twin brothers, something she frequently did. Having always been close to her family, she missed them as she went away, even though she was loving being at the same college as Ben (who thankfully things were still working out perfectly with). But even though she wanted a break from studies, she had an assignment that she knew she had to work on while she was home in order to be able to get the time away. She decided to spend a little time at the library today and then have all day tomorrow free to spend with her parents before she headed back to school.
The library in Forks had been almost like a second home for Angela at times during high school. She was always a good student and knowing her way around the library had helped with that. She was researching parenting for her Human Development class and was browsing through the new parent books on the shelf. Having just pulled one out and about to take it over to one of the desks to look at she was reading the back of the book as she walked and bumped into someone else, dropping her book to the floor.
Angela bent down to get it, looking up at the pretty blond girl in front of her who had started to apologize, giving off an immediately obvious Australian accent. "No its my fault, I should have looked where I was going" She apologized embarrassed and hoping the girl didn't think her incredibly rude. She stood up slowly, her cheeks already flushed with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry"

Scooping her books up Lyndal tried to stop herself going beet red from embarrassment, if she’d just been looking where she was going and not at the book she’d have saved them both the trouble.
Still bent down Lyndal smiled and bit her lip. “Sorry, I really wasn’t looking where I was going.” She said with a laugh. “I had my nose stuck in the book like a dill.” She said with a half laugh, she heard Laurie’s voice use the word in her head as he had to her a million times. Standing up Dal smiled. ‘Did you get them all?” She asked nodding to the books.
The dark skinned girl was pretty and certainly a little older then Lyndal. She was dark skinned but Dal new she wasn’t from the rez. “Home work.” she said looking at her own pile, though the top book was still the marriage book, “And life homework.” She laughed self consciously aware not everyone her age was embarking on marriage.

"Its okay, I really wasn't paying attention like I should have been either" Angela reassured her as the girl apologized again, despite Angela's earlier admission of being at fault. "I was too busy reading the back of the book too, guess I'm so used to this place being nearly empty I didnt think to look where I was walking, sorry again" She said embarrassed.
Angela thought the girl had a very pretty accent. She wondered if she was just visiting Forks or had moved here recently. Had she been more like Jessica, the type to pry she would have asked her, but right now she knew she barely knew the girl and didnt want to start questioning her right away.
Angela nodded as she asked if she got all the books. "Yeah, I think so, thanks" She said nodding as the girl said her own pile was homework. and life work" She glanced down at the title, seeing it was on marriage. "You're getting married? Congratulations!" She said cheerfully. "Mine's just homework, for now at least" She said with a light laugh as she looked down at the parenting book. Though she has imagined what it would be like to have a family with Ben, both of them had agreed it would be better to finish out college before they got married or started a family. Besides, her minister father would never approve of it being done in the other order.

Dal nodded, it was always empty when she was there too. “Not many readers here in Forks, I guess.” She said with a shrug, though it was the only place to get books the Res didn’t have a library. “Books can be distracting.” She smiled looking down at her own slight pile.
Looking down at her books Lyndal blushed, it was a small town and the two books she had were bound to cause a stir. “Erm..yea.” She said shortly, she didn’t want to have everyone know but she was proud to be marrying Nash. “Yea in a few months…over on the Res.” She said with a smile. “All the others are school stuff.” She said hoping to explain away the parenting book, not that she was ashamed of Travis at all, just cautious. “Do you go to school here?” She asked wondering if this girl went to Forks.

"Yeah, its not exactly the town's hotspot" Angela agreed to the other girl's comment about not many readers in Forks. She would come here in high school, whether to do research for a paper or just to get a quiet place to work on her homework away from the little terrors of twin brothers she had. She loved them dearly but they were always hard to work around. Angela nodded again a little embarrassed as the girl mentioned that books could be distracting. It was true, Angela had found herself lost in books many times.
"That's really great, I'm happy for you" Angela said sincerely as the other girl told her about getting married on the reservation in a few months. She figured the man she was marrying must be Quileute, since the girl was obviously of another nationality. "I used to go to Forks High, my family's still in the area, I'm just home from college for the weekend, University of Washington" She told her, hoping she wasn't imposing on her with giving all that information. "I'm Angela by the way" She smiled, rearranging the books into one of her arms so that she could extend out her hand in a proper greeting, hoping the books would not all start to tumble again.
