My brother was there too, clicking away with the camera and welcoming his new sister to middle school.

As kids. they always had a soft spot for Ashley Schmitt. Being an orphan. she'd always get a bit more of their sympathy and support.

I was the one who got told to back off if I ever wanted to take back a toy of mine. Any fight was just me being a brat.
