This is Jared's story... Have you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or numb to all emotions? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury & indifference with no stops in between. Some people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don't care about anything or anyone. Except Tatum. I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can't let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging, challenging, bullying her-it's the last part of me that feels anything human. But then she went & screwed everything up. She left for a year & came back a different girl. Now, when I push, she pushes back.

The History Boys harks back once more to Bennett's time at school, & shows how the raw material of experience was eventually transformed into the highly-acclaimed stage play The History Boys.
