I read this book in elementary school sometime between 2008 and 2012. It has a primarily orange cover with framing some kind of graphic. The story is about a young kid about 14-19 that has to travel to fulfill a quest, I vaguely remember like a belt with orbs that he must find to power the belt or something like that. There is a map in the book, if I saw the map it would probably spark my memory.

ok, it might be Deltora quest. need to think on this one...
It does sound like Deltora Quest, but if not it might be Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, which features items that are collected and put on a belt. These are called 'the signs', and are a set of six circles divided into four sections by crosses, each made of a different material and representing a different element: wood, bronze, iron, water, fire, and stone.

I think this must be Deltora Quest as not only does the orange cover fit, but so does the "girl in the forest with two animal companions" thing, the main female character Jasmine is a "wild girl" from the forest who has two pets (a raven and a fictional furry mammal called a siskis).You said if you saw the map it would jog your memory, Big, I think you should do a google image search for "Deltora Quest map" -- it's very easily found online and there is also a fan wiki for the series that has a lot of highly detailed information about the books' plots.
