"Hi I'm Ayodele". He said as I turned around. "Since we're here we might as well get to know each other". He was a black towering twenty something year old with a deep voice.
"I'm Charles". I replied, "you're right, we should only down side is I don't know much about myself to tell you".
We both laughed.
"Oooo, friends!". Rosita said walking up to our group and extending her hand for a handshake. "I'm Rosita". She was probably Portuguese and was smaller than us. "This looks delicious." She said as she picked a package.
"Yes and I'm starved!" Miriam replied.
We headed to the eating area which had two long tables with metal benches attached at each end. Everyone rushes their meals like a pack of wild dogs.

Alexander gets up and says in a loud voice "Why don't we all get to know each other, since we all have names! I'll start I'm Alexander, and I'm your leader!".
There's laughter and a little booing.
The girl next to him, red haired and speaks with an odd accent stands "I'm Diana, number 12".
The naming continues from Thier table to mine.
"Khalid, 2".
"Johann, 16".
"Emmanuella, 22".
"Henry, 6".
"Yashmir, 14".
"Audrey, 19".
"Priyanka, 27".
"Nessa, 28".
"James, 8".
"Aiyanna, 13".
"Jaime, 24".
"Wong, 17".
"Tess, 15".
"Rosita, 3".
"Charles, 7".
"Miriam, 10".
"Ayodele, 1".
"Vladimir, 4".
"Ayesha, 18".
"Lee, 29".
"Hugh, 26".
"Joan, 5".
"Madiba, 9".
"Lancelot, 20".
"Ginger, 11".
"Natalie, 25".
"Princess Shasha, 21".
"Bertha, 23".
"Well that wasn't so hard now was it?" Alexander added.
There were some chuckles.
Then everyone broke off into groups and discussed the events we had just heard of. I noticed that there were no clocks or means to know the time or date.
Then a shrill voice came from the corners of the walls as if the walls were made of speakers.
"It's lights out, everyone back to Thier sleeping quarters and get some rest. Tomorrow is training day, anyone remaining will have himself to blame".
Nobody wanted to wait to find out.
All the groups broke off and we all bid ourselves a good rest and as I walked to my room I turned around and saw a boy standing at the opening of the hallway, I remembered him from earlier his name was Khalid.
He had his head cocked in a weird position.
He was staring at me.
