Unwillingly Betrothed

Prologue
"I'M WHAT???" A fourteen-year-old girl yelled to her father.
Four hundred and sixty-seven miles away a twelve-year-old boy blinked at his mother. He looked at his father with a look that clearly said, 'please tell me that she's kidding.'
"You can't do this to me! You can't let me live my life for fourteen years and then suddenly spring something like this on me!
"When was it decided that this would happen?" The boy asked in a voice that was almost too calm.
"It was decided when the boy was born, and I will not a break a promise to an old friend, simply because my daughter fells that she shouldn't have to do her duty." The girl's father said sternly.
"When it was decided does not matter. You will marry the girl and that is final." The boy's mother said in a tone that he knew only too well. It left no room for arguments.
"I did this for you so that you would have a secure future with a man from a good family." If anything, saying this got his daughter riled up further. In his mind,she took too much after her mother.
"Tch… this is so troublesome. Why should I have to marry a girl two years older than me who I don't even know?"
"I WILL NOT MARRY SOME SNOT-NOSED BRAT TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!!!!!!
"Have you even considered what her feelings are in the matter? If you didn't, that's awfully troublesome of you."
"Do not say such things about your future husband. You will marry him, and that's final. Good things have come out of arranged marriages, so you should consider yourself lucky that you don't have to search for a man."
"Her feelings matter, but not enough that we will allow you, or her to break of the engagement."
At either house, both teens sighed.
GRose522: Sooo, tell me what you think! You can say it's crap, but please, use gentle words when you do.
