Young teacher the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be
In Science class Josie is looking through her microscope. Z walks by and she speaks up. “I think the focus is off on this.” Z slows, “Really? Let me see.” He leans down and reaches around her to adjust the wheel. “Is this better?” He queries. She smiles, “Yes, much.”
Inside him there's longing This girl's an open page Bookmark her - she's so close now This girl is half his age
Josie pauses after Science Club, waiting until her friends are out the door. She turns back to Professor Z. He smiles at her and shoos her out with a smile that fades as she leaves. He sighs and sits back at his desk.
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Z meets the Club for lunch outside and sits down next to Josie. In the midst of the conversation, they glance at each other. Josie looks away with a slight blush in her cheeks, while the Professor notices their close proximity and slides inconspicuously away from her.
Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet
In Science class, Z asks a question. “Does anyone know the answer? Marshall? Lucas? …Josie?” Josie grins, “Yeah, it’s a hydrogen atom.” Z matches her grin. “Correct Josie.”
Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry
Alone in his office, Professor Zachary rests his head in his hands. Images of Josie flash through his mind. He knows he shouldn’t think of her as anything more then a student and a friend, but he can’t help it. “Oh, Josie.”
Wet bus stop, she’s waiting His car is warm and dry
Professor Zachary drives through town. He sees a familiar redhead through the drizzle and stops. He rolls down the window, “Josie?” She looks up and smiles “Z!” “Do you need a ride?” He asks. “That would be great,” she answers. Back at the school, Josie turns to him. “Thanks.” He smiles, “Anytime.”
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
In Science Club, Z stands behind Josie, discussing the invention of the light bulb. He lays a hand on her shoulder. “…and there was electricity.” She puts her hand over his and grins. Yes, there was, she thinks. Z notices the other preoccupied members and removes his hand to continue with the lesson.
Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try
Josie and Professor Z pass in the hall and smile at each other. Madison walks up to Josie after Z is gone. “At least you’ve given up Vaughn, but really, a teacher Josie? That’s just weak.” She rolls her eyes and walks away before Josie can retaliate.
Strong words in the staff room The accusations fly
Durst sits in her office accompanied by Professor Z. “Professor Zachary…there have been some…concerns among the faculty that you may be getting uncomfortable close to…a certain student. You’re a good teacher, but this needs to stop. Be careful Professor.” Z nods his head and walks slowly out a sad frown on his face.
It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov
Together in the Science Lab, Josie and Z gaze at each other, both with sad smiles. “Josie, we both know this won’t work.” She denies it. “We can make it work.” Z shakes his head. “Not this time.” They come together in a hug and he kisses the top of her head. “I’m sorry.” The come apart and Josie walks slowly through the door and Z knows that’s the end. [/b]
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
During a science lesson, Z glances at Josie. She smiles at him and continues writing notes. He’s pleased they’re still friends, but sad that’s all they’ll ever be. At her table, Josie thinks the same thing.
