A/N: You guys are amazing. I'm so glad you all want to hear more about Bella and Volcano. So here's an almost repeat of Worth More than a Bad Reputation's author note:
This fanfic is based on a first kiss essay written by Cecil Castellucci called Bad Reputation for an anthology called Kiss (Then Tell): A Collection of True, Lip-Locked Moments edited by Cylin Busby. My story takes place several years later, with Bella and Jacob replacing Cecil and David.
Now that we got that out of the way—Characters belong to Stephenie Meyer.
Prelude
When Bella and Jacob were twelve they were in school together, but never spoke. Jacob came over to her house out of the blue and asked her to come out to play. He gave her her first kiss that day by a huge rock and every day since he came over to kiss her again. They still never spoke at school. When he turned thirteen, he had a big party with school friends and family and she was invited. He didn't acknowledge her existence, but when she went to the bathroom he followed her and they snuck off to make out again. Later that week there was a dance at a teen center and he danced with her in front of everyone. When they snuck off outside, her friends caught her kissing him. He took off and she had to deal with her friends accusing her of bad behavior. They claimed she could get a bad reputation from what she was doing and they would want no part of her friendship. Upon their threat, the next time Jacob came over after school, Bella pretended to not be home. He never came back and Bella's regretted it ever since.
