Mutual

In which a girl attending college in New York stumbles across a heartbreaking tale, as told by Twitter user @najdgaf. In which Twitter user @najdgaf follows back. In which a mutual is formed. 18 year old Dottie Parker is in her first year of college at NYU. She occasionally attempts to be 'soft grunge' but apparently isn't cut out to be a hipster; it never really works out. She got the clothing ideas from tumblr. She doesn't really go on tumblr anymore. Najdah Bey, a Muslim girl, lives halfway across the world from Dottie. She listens to her father and prays more than she needs to each day (usually for concert tickets, but her dad doesn't really need to know that). They sound simple enough. But nothing is ever simple. Najdah is the same age as Dottie, and attending university as well. But this isn't the beginning to her life. It is the end. Her dad will soon arrange a marriage for her, and her 18 years of precious freedom will be up. Or will it?
