Chapter 2: The Aggie Theater
"Bella this is Emmett our brother, Jasper Hale my boyfriend, Rosalie Hale Jasper's sister and Emmett's girlfriend. Guys this is Isabella Swan." Alice preformed the introductions as soon as we entered the room.
"Just Bella is fine." I always felt that when people called me Isabella I was in trouble.
"Nice to meet you Bella," Emmett shook my hand and I was instantly shocked by the coldness.
"Pleasure to meet you, Bella," Jasper kept his distance but was polite.
"So where are we going tonight?" Rosalie asked. She was absolutely stunning. She had long blonde hair and an hour-glass figure that looked good in anything. She had long legs and an angelic face.
"We decided to just go downtown and see what it is like."
"Oh… You guys will love Downtown Fort Collins. It is amazing! We should go to the Aggie Theater. They are having a welcome back concert since school is starting." Emmett said. Since he was a sophomore he knew a lot about Ft. Collins and its history.
"Okay that sounds good." Alice replied. We traveled as a group and piled into Emmett's large Jeep. Emmett drove, Rosalie sat in the passenger seat, Alice sat on Jasper's lap, and I sat in the middle with Edward on my right. It was kind of crowded.
"You guys are in for a treat. The Aggie is a great place for music. I haven't been here in a while, but I came here a lot last year."

The general consensus was that Emmett's recommendation for The Aggie was really fun. We were dancing, okay they were dancing. I was too much of a klutz to do much but slowly move to the beat. But with Emmett's jokes, Alice's enthusiasm, Edward's crooked smile that I was becoming totally enthralled with, and the great music I was having a fun night. But I had to keep telling myself that this guy was my roommate and nothing more!
It had to have been about 10:30 when a guy tapped on my shoulder, "Hey, do you want to dance with me?"
"Umm…" I looked at Alice for reassurance. She nodded her head yes and urged me to dance with this guy. "Sure, but I have to warn you I am not that good a dancing. I am pretty much the clumsiest person in the world."
"Don't worry about it. I'm Jacob. What's your name?"
"Bella." We had to yell over the loud music. I put my hands around his neck, careful to keep enough room between us suitable for a person I had just met. He put his hands on my back. I was once again shocked by the temperature of someone's hands. They were extremely hot, but not burning.
"So are you new to Fort Collins, Bella?"
"Yes, I am going to college at CSU. How about you?"
"I'm proud to say I am born and raised here. You could say that I know all the secrets this town has. I truly have to say, some of the myths are true."
"That's interesting. You will have to show some of them to me some time."
"That sounds like a plan."
The next song came on. "Ah…I love this song."
"Really, what is it?"
"Well, it is originally preformed by The Beetles. It is called "All You Need Is Love""(Okay first song that came to mind…I just watched Across the Universe)
"So you know your music?" Jacob asked.
"Yes, I love music and I am open to all kinds of it."
"Hmm… Come with me. Would you be willing to work here? I mean it seems a little weird at first but The Aggie is a wonderful place." Jacob said. By this time he had pulled me out of the main area into a small hallway. He knocked slowly on the door. "Mike, are you in there?"
"Ya, is that you Jacob? Come on in!"
"Hey Mike, I think I have someone to fill Janet's position. This is Bella."
"Hello Bella, would you be willing to fill out an application."
"Yes. I haven't really looked around Fort Collins for other jobs, but I would definitely be willing to fill one out." Okay so this is really weird. My first day here I get a job offer. I never am this lucky.
"Okay, drop by here tomorrow and I will get you a form. Mike, why don't you take Bella back out so she can enjoy the rest of the night."
"I will do that. Thanks Mike."
"Your welcome Jacob, nice to meet you Bella" And with that my whirlwind job interview was over. We headed back out and I was ambushed my Alice.
"Where were you Bella? I was so worried!"
"Relax Alice, I will tell you all about it later but first I want you to meet Jacob. Jacob this is Alice, my roommate's sister." Edward slowly walked up. "And this is my roommate, Edward."
"Wow, you are rooming with a guy? That is not normal!" Jacob seemed to astonished. I was kind of open to new experiences but I seriously hoped that this living arrangement worked out. So far I was having a blast with my new friends.
"What, are you doing here, Black," Edward said icily with a angry frown on his face. His forehead had little tiny wrinkles in it.
"Oh, come on Cullen. Let's be civil. I just met poor Bella here. Why don't you let her give me a chance."
"No way. Bella let's go." Edward put his hand on my arm and pulled me over to the rest of his family. "Emmett, sorry to ruin your fun but we need to leave."
"Okay, let me just get Rosalie and we can go. Meet you at the car." Emmett shoved his way over to the rest of the crowd. Edward, Alice, Jasper, and I made our way to the car.

"Edward, what was that about." We were sitting in the car on our way back to the dorm.
"Bella, I know I just met you but you really need to stay away from the Black family."
"Why?" I kind of liked Jacob. He was nice.
"Just for now. I will explain things later." We had reached the dorms.
"Goodnight Alice," I called as Edward and I continued up the stairs. "Edward, I am sorry if this comes off as rude. I did just meet you and I just met Jacob. Therefore I am going to give each of you a shot. I will keep talking to Jacob just like I will keep talking to you."
He unlocked the door and held it open for me. I turned around to continue but when I looked at his eyes, I could tell he was hurt. Why I just met him? Why would he be upset?
"Bella, just promise me you will be careful."
"I will Edward, Good night."
"Good night, Bella." And then we proceeded to our respective rooms. I put on my most comfortable pajamas.
I decided that if I was going to apply at The Aggie, I would need to know a little bit about it. I opened my computer and opened up . I typed in 'The Aggie'. The usual came up; Tickets, t-shirts, music, schedule.
I scrolled down the page and found what I was looking for.
The History of the Aggie Theatre and its influence on Fort Collins.
I clicked on the link and a page came up. I started reading
"The Aggie theatre got its name from the college in Fort Collins. The Colorado School of Agriculture's nickname was The Aggie. The 'A' painted on the hill behind the football stadium is a sign for the old name. The Colorado School of Agriculture became Colorado State University.
Some very influential students who were interested in film started up a business and called it The Aggie Theatre.
These students continued to have showings of lesser known movies. But it is rumored that darker, sinister things occurred in the basement. It is highly unknown, but the group of students continued to form a secret organization called 'The Aggies'."
I was shocked. A secret organization? Very interesting! I continued reading.
"Although the locals knew the myth surrounding the Aggie Theatre, many continued to go there to see quality films. Later the Aggie was sold to a new owner. He turned the Theatre into a place where citizens of Fort Collins could come and listen to music. Today, The Aggie is a star of Fort Collins night life. Many artists are brought in each week. It is a thriving part of Fort Collins."
Well I guess I will just fill out the application and see if those rumors are true. I doubt they are.
With my research I was a little curious of what The Aggie. If I didn't like working there I could always quit.
I turned of my laptop and snuggled up in my bed. I had purposefully left the curtain open so I could stare out the window as I fell asleep. The scenery was just as beautiful bathed in the moonlight as it was during the day. I watched the stars glimmer as my eyelids slowly sank down, and I sank into a deep sleep.
A/N: Please Review. Tell me what you think so far! XOXO Until next time my dear readers!!
