"I don't know . . . " he muttered.
"I've got some college money saved. College fund, you know."
College, schmollege, I though to myself. It wasn't like I'd saved up enough to go anywhere special--and besides, I had no desire to leave Forks anyway. What difference would it make if I skimmed a little off the top?
Jacob just nodded. This all made perfect sense to him.
As we skulked back to the makeshift garage, I contemplated my luck. Only a teenage boy would agree to doing this: deceiving both our parents while repairing dangerous vehicles using money meant for my college education. He didn't see anything wrong with that picture. Jacob was a gift from the gods."
My Response:
I think this part in the book is a light through the clouds kind of paragraph. Bella is finally staring to be herself again and getting out of the house, instead of sulking all day. Sometimes she likes to do absolutely nothing all day. Now, she's finally opening up. Edward left her, so now she's leaving Edward. She's leaving him in the past. She's moving on to spend time with Jacob, and later on in the book, she'll be back to normal. But when Edward tries to kill himself, she'll go after him. So, she won't really have moved on. The love of her life Edward, will once again be in her life. Jacob who entered Bella's life, but Edward, who was always in it, will be take place of Jacob.
