Great Expectations pages 56-113

In our second reading from Great Expectations things are all starting to fall into place and it is all starting to make sense to me and it seems like more things are starting to fall together to connect the puzzle. One of the things that I wondered about in this section was the relationship between Estella and Pip. I wonder what is going on between them because Estella wanted Pip to kiss her on the cheek, but never to speak to anyone about it ever again. I wonder and ask myself if Estella is playing Pip or really does like him. Also will Pip and Estella become a happy couple or are they going to move on and not like each other any more in the future? These are some of the things that I wonder while i'm reading this book, and it makes me think if Pip and Estella will ever be together.
When Pip is out exploring the area around Miss Havisham's house he runs into a pale young gentleman which comes out and confronts him and wants to start a fight with him. The young pale gentleman strikes a few times at Pip and eventually Pip knocks the kid up a few times and then feels bad about it and thinks he will get into trouble later when he gets home.
The part that I am starting to not like about Pip is that he is becoming greedy and selfish and all he wants is money from Miss Havisham and he doesn't work just for her, but for her money.

Is Dicken's going to bring back the pale young gentleman in the future or is he trying to foreshadown something that is going to happen in the future? I think that some of these things will happen again in the future and everything will come together and fill in the puzzle.
