Jake was angry at Diane’s accusations

Jake's hands immediately turned into fists as something inside of him overwhelmed. His heart drummed against his chest almost as if it is trying to escape from the cages. Fervour filled the room and Jake could almost see the intense redness on his cheeks.

" Of course, it is you! Who else could it be? You're the only poor kid here who needs that much money!" These words repeated in his mind like a broken tape. Jake could hear his conscience telling him to slap Diane for her harsh words.
