Key to the candy shack

The Leadership stood up at the front of the room, “As you have probably noticed it is raining outside today. We were supposed to do a course on wide game equipment for the afternoon, but since it is raining half of us will be doing candy shack training, and after an hour the groups will switch.” After the leadership had explained the groups a large group of the staff left leaving the others in the basement of the dining hall.
“What are we suppose to do?” Dannaya asked, “You didn’t really explain that.” Kai looked over at Dannaya the way she said each word, and the way she brushed the long ringlets of blonde hair out of her eyes. Kai had developed a slight crush on her over the past couple of days of staff training. Madison had made fun of him because of the age difference between them. Dannaya was twenty one and Kai was only eighteen. Even if she did go out with him there was still a problem, Dannaya was Kevin’s sister. Kevin had been in the pre-cursers to the navy seals for four years, but after he broke his leg in a diving accident he decided to go to university for human kinetics. Kevin was big and intimidating so Kai had kept the fact that he had a crush on her a secret.
“For all you who are left, you can go to the staff room and write in your journals or whatever.” and with that the leadership that was still in the room left.
“Alright I’m going to head to the staff room.” Dannaya said, walking to the door grabbing her hoodie as she left.
“Wait up sis’” Kevin jumped up and left without putting on a coat. No one is quite sure if he even did own a coat or if he just doesn’t wear one. Kai got up from a 1970’s coach he had been sitting in and grabbed his black zippered hoodie followed by the rest of the group. Pulling the hood over his head Kai walked out into the down pour on the gravel walkway down the center of the camp grounds. Caleb caught up to him the yellow rain jacket filled out by his large weight.
“Hey Kai, no rain coat?” Caleb asked
“No left it in my cabin.”
“Here,” Caleb walked into a little building they where walking past. Reappearing in the door seconds later he brought out a black raincoat. “Here you go.”
“What is that place?” Kai asked putting on the rain coat in the cover of the roof over the door. Kai looked in and saw four walls of clothes and a center column full of odds and ends, from a shoes to football helmets.
“The costume room.” Caleb said, “also known as the camp museum. Browsing through that place you can see all the memories from years past. A stain, a costume that someone wore. Whatever.”
…And two hour later…
Brandon burst through the door of the staff room, looking around. Seeing Kai he rushed over, rain dripping from his short blonde hair down his face. “Kai you have to come with me!” Kai stood up from talking to Caleb and Dannaya. After he saw Kai was coming he quickly walked to the door. Kai followed Brandon outside into the rain, wearing his new raincoat.
“Dude, what is it?” Kai pulled his hood up again from under the raincoat from the costume room. Brandon ran ahead not saying a word, finally reaching the back door of the candy shack. Amanda tripped out from behind the building where she had been hiding in the bushes; leafs and twigs caught in her hair. Reaching the door Kai looked at Brandon and Amanda who both where smiling. “What is it? Why are we here?
“Guess what we have?” Amanda said, “You know how we have a key to almost every building except this one because they don’t want us to steal the candy?” Kai nodded. “Well when one of the leadership was leaving the building I saw them hide the key. And now that we know where it is we have access.”
“Wouldn’t that be stealing?” Kai said.
“Well yeah, but as long as we don’t take a lot, no one will know.” Brandon said.
“The way you drink root beer they will notice in a few days.” Amanda said remembering the year before. “So I will be the only one who will know the where abouts of this key.”
“Why did you tell me about this then?” Kai asked confused about why they would tell him if they weren’t going to let him go into the shack or go in there really at all.
“Because you’re part of the brotherhood now.” Brandon said as if it was something amazing.
“Who else is in this brotherhood?” Kai asked
“Oh just us.” Brandon said, “Well she’s a woman but it’s still a brotherhood. But yeah, just the three of us for now, soon everyone will want in…and you could say you were one of the first.”
“Yeah, totally, but I think I have some ideas for other members.” Kai said.
