Mike Newton

A popular classmate of Bella's, Mike consistently has a crush on Bella throughout the series, but is more interested in her as a pretty girl than as a person. He dated Jessica Stanley for roughly half of Twilight, but the two broke up between Twilight and New Moon. Mike works with Bella at his dad’s store (Newton's Outfitters) selling camping/hiking/outdoor gear, and he is one of few people at Forks High relieved to see Bella come out of her "zombie" state. Bella describes him as taking on the qualities of a golden retriever because he always walked her to class and tried to be helpful when she arrived in Forks. However, Bella has expressed to Mike that she prefers Edward, and by New Moon he seems to have given up on her. He is described to have a "baby face", pale blond hair, blue eyes, and has attempted to copy Edward's style in order to get Bella's attention.
