He is one of the people who goes down to La Push on the weekend when Jacob tells Bella about the stories of his tribe and the Cold Ones. He later asks Bella to the spring dance, to which she declines.
In the Twilight movie, Eric is the school reporter, who goes to prom with Angela Weber after she took up the courage to invite him, and they become a couple from then on.
