I counted and realized that there were eight of us: me, the tall guy, a guy who seemed almost angry, another guy with kinda long hair, the guy named George, the half-asleep guy, the guy asking questions, and the blond sitting next to me. I very suddenly realized that I was the only girl in this place. I was stuck here with no memories and seven BOYS. It's not that boys suck, It's just that it sucks living with them. Though I didn't have any examples of that in my mind. 

I forced myself to stop being distracted and pay attention to the conversation again. The one with the questions was saying something about how we should go through the slits in the walls. I thought that was stupid because we had no idea what was out there. The almost angry guy seemed to agree with me because he started arguing with the questioning guy. Gosh, this is getting confusing. 

"...stupid. We should stay here. "

"Staying here is even more stupid, though."

I decided to chime in.

"Why?" 

The sound of my own voice surprised me though I don't know why.I guess it was lower than I expected. The questioning guy just kinda stood there with a shocked expression on his face. His jaw slacked, and I realized that he probably hadn't even noticed me before, but he couldn't seem to answer me either, so I continued. 

"Why should we go out there when we have no idea what's out there or if we're even safe? We should focus on other things right now like finding food and water."

"I agree with her." The almost angry guy said. 

The questioning guy seemed to find his voice again when he said, "But how do we know that we're any safer in here than we are out there?" 

"We don't", I continued, "but staying where we are, seems like the best option. We don't know what could happen out there, hell, there could be lions or dragons, or, I don't know you could get trapped out there or something." 

"How the hell could I even get trapped out there? There aren't even doors. We would be fin-" 

A loud grumbling started to fill the air. Everyone looked around for its source, even the half-asleep guy. Suddenly, an awful grinding noise hit our ears as some of the giant walls around us started to move. They were moving together, slowly closing us in this box. The walls finally reached each other, and silence filled the air. 

"I guess that's how," I said. 

The tall guy said, "We really should try to find food and water, though." 

I agreed, and our group of eight all started walking toward the building. We were walking in silence until the questioning guy stopped abruptly. We all turned at him as he stood there dumbfounded. We stared at him until he suddenly said, "I remember my name, it's Minho." 

"Congrats, Minho," the tall guy said, "Now if only the rest of us could remember our names too." When the tall guy said this something seemed to click inside the almost angry boy's head, he said, "My name's Gally."

No one really knew how to respond to this, but the guy with long hair smiled at Gally. We all started walking toward the extremely small building again. As we got closer, I could see it more clearly, and I could make out that there were actually two parts to this building. We walked toward the closer part, and when we got to it, Minho opened the door hesitantly. We all looked inside and saw a concrete floor with a drain of some sort, and a showerhead up on the wooden wall. 

"It's a shower" 

"No shit, really? I would never have guessed that based on the showerhead."

"Be nice."
