Those Promises become harder to keep when Shelby's father joins the planning committee for the Princess Ball, an annual dance that ends with a ceremonial vow to live pure lives -- in other words, no \"bad behavior,\" no breaking the rules, and definitely no sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTorn between Promises One and Three, Shelby makes a decision -- to exploit a loophole and lose her virginity before taking the vow.
