This is just the first chapter or so summarized 'cause I'm not re-writing the whole damn book. XD Edward is not in this, sorry. Just the friendship between "Ben" and Jake.
-------------------------------------------------------
My dad pulled up to his house, a place I hadn't seen in several years. He lead me up to my room, which was exactly the way I left it. Bright it's-a-boy! blue walls and lego's as well as action figures stored in the messy closet. I had stopped coming here for the summers for several years. I couldn't believe my dad hadn't even moved anything. The only thing that was different was the bed, which I wouldn't have fit in if it were the old one.
"So, you start school tomorrow," my dad said as we heard a car pull up in the yard. I didn't bother to look outside. "I wanted to give you something to get there."
I raised an eyebrow. "You got me a car?"
"Well, Ben," he replied," it's nothing much, of course. It's just a ratty old truck."
I grinned. "I like 'em that way."
He lead me outside and, to my surprise, there was his good old friend Billy and his son, my old friend, Jacob.
"Hey." Jake said casually. "Long time no see Benny."
I grinned and punched him playfully in the arm. "I told you never to call me that again."
He grinned back. "You've been gone for years. It doesn't count anymore." He gave me his smile. I'm not gay, but his smile was really perfect and just teased you. Made you wanna smile back, you know?
"Yes. But the word 'never' refers lasts forever."
"Damn." he cursed. "Guess you're right."
"Hey," I said, changing the subject," do you go to my school? I start tomorrow."
"Sorry, no." he answered. "I go to school on the rez."
"Oh." Damn. "Okay. Woulda been cool to know someone though." I said
"Yeah." he replied. "Sorry bro."
That was when Billy cut in. "Well, son, we should get going. Just wanted to drop off the truck."
Oh yeah. "Thanks a lot." I said politely with a smile.

This story would be different if Bella were a boy in the way that "he" and Jacob would just be friends. Probably really good friends. Instead of Jacob and Edward fighting over his love, they would probably fight over simple friendship. I don't think much with the Volturi or the others would change.
"Ben" is a lot more insensitive than Bella considering he is a boy. His actions and words would be a lot more boyish than Bella's more feminine side.

Sorry, that was brief. I don't have much time today and I ran out. In the future, this hopefully won't happen.
'Til I post again,
Sarah
