When Beau Swan transfers to Forks High School, his presence draws the female students' attention on his first day. A jealous Jeremy then becomes his friend to share some of the attention, particularly from McKayla. The Cullen "siblings" catch Beau's eye at lunch and he asks about them; Jeremy tells him everything he knows about the pair of young women.
While they seemingly hit it off as friends, in truth, Jeremy tends to be more interested in Beau's popularity than his actual character and is sometimes jealous of McKayla's affections toward the lad. He also takes both Spanish and trigonometry with Beau during his junior year.
McKayla asks Jeremy to the spring dance at Beau's suggestion and they resume their relationship. He is last seen attending Beau's fake funeral at the end of the novel when the latter faked his death to keep his family from finding out he had become a vampire.
Physical appearance
Jeremy has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is noted to be shorter than Beau, not even up to his shoulders.
Personality and traits
Jeremy is a relatively shallow individual. His outgoing personality makes it easy for him to make friends, but he doesn't show much loyalty to any of his peers. He always acts nice toward Beau, but in truth, he is silently upset when both Edythe Cullen and McKayla Newton show affection towards him.
Relationships
Jeremy is an only child in his family.

Beau Swan is Jeremy's friend at Forks High, though Jeremy only befriended him to share some of the attention he is receiving from the girl students.
Though he tends to care more about his popularity than his character, he seems to care for the boy on some subtle level. When Beau showed up late at the movie theater they are supposed to meet, Jeremy was ready to look for him before he appeared. When Beau faked his death, Jeremy is among one of the students who attended his funeral.
