Akshara, whose family was originally from Togo, was the new girl at the high school in town. It was a school year that Akshara was not likely to forget, as she made friends and met a boy, Cooper. Like Cooper and many of the students at the school, Akshara was very involved in sports, so she gets along with her new classmates well. But issues arose with her newfound friendship with Cooper when their differences were highlighted by the adults in their lives.
