Mr Mead's son

Replacement Son

Harvey runs into the school and sprints into Mr Budgen's class and sits down as Mr Budgen yelled "Harvey Daniels what time do you call this?" Harvey says "10 minutes past 9 sir." Mr Budgen said, "It's a figure of speech, Daniels!" Then there's a knock at the door and Mr Mead opens the door and says "Can I borrow Harvey." Mr Budgen says "Good riddance." Harvey reluctantly follows Mr Mead to Miss Mason's office for a meeting with Mr Mead and his mum to discuss Harvey's academic progress and behaviour.

In Miss Mason's office, Harvey's mum sat across from Mr Mead while Harvey sat next to his mum. Mr Mead began by praising Harvey's academic abilities and potential but expressed concern about his behaviour in class. Harvey's mum disagreed and said, "He's just a teenager. Of course, he is not gonna be perfectly behaved!" Mr Mead agrees with Harvey's mother "It is not uncommon for teenagers to misbehave in the classroom, but he should also be respectful and also have a productive learning environment that does not disrupt the learning experience for others." Miss Mason says " The school has organized a behavioural camp for Harvey and some of his class to go to in the summer holidays with Mr Mead, Mr Budgen and Mr Clarkson." Harvey says "Is it before or after you get it on with Miss Campbell?" Miss Daniels says "Are you trying to get kicked out?" Harvey said smugly "Yeah I'd rather like to be out of this shithole." Mr Mead says "That was inappropriate Harvey." Harvey sighed and says "You didn't answer my question!" Mr Mead says "It's none of your business!" Harvey says "Well it is, you're my father." Miss Daniels snidely says "Well if you want to have a relationship with him you have to be honest." Mr Mead says "Well it's complicated but no." Harvey says "I saw you and Miss Campbell kissing outside of the staff room and talking about how you were going to go to her ultrasounds for a kid that's not ever yours but you didn't even consider going to your own son's!" He slams his hands on the table, grabs his bag and walks out.

Harvey goes to the gym and works out while all the teachers at the school are looking for him. Harvey's phone keeps ringing so he answers and it was Mr Mead then Harvey said "You've got what you wanted, you've got me out of the way and a replacement baby on the way!" Harvey hangs up and gets back to working out. Meanwhile, at the school, Harvey's mum said to Mr Mead "Is this what you wanted, for your son to feel unwanted and rejected? Do you wanna know what he said to me? He said he wished Mr Clarkson was his dad." Mr Mead hung his head in shame as he knew that he had failed Harvey.
