<human>: This actually happened a while ago but here we go.  Back when I was in 6th grade, we had a substitute teacher for science class.  Awesome.  That meant no work, no homework, and we were just gonna watch TV for the entire hour of class.  I wanted to be comfortable before feasting my eyes upon the first episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy, so I asked the substitute to go to the bathroom.  Obviously she said yes and I was on my way.  

This substitute was a very sweet, older African American woman.  She had substituted classes before and I had no problem with her whatsoever.  She was actually one of the nicer substitutes.  Anyway, when I got back to the classroom, the lights were now off because she had the whole room set up to watch some Bill Nye.  I, being the idiot that I am, walked into this nearly pitch black room, took a couple looks around, and stated and I quote, "Hey guys, where's the teacher?!"  

After hearing this, she opens her eyes in the front and center of the classroom and calmly says, "I'm right here.  Sit down so we can start."  I have never felt so bad/embarrassed in my life.  To make matters worse, one of my best friends in the class started laughing hysterically, making me uncomfortable for the rest of class.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I walked into a dark room and asked where the African American substitute teacher was when she was basically right in front of me
