Summary of the first book to the "Burnin' the Bridge" story. It may be updated though within time. But for now, enjoy. ^^

There are plenty of ways to start off the summer in Southern California, but none better for local orphans Roxanne de Vira, Raven Liasson, Nadeshiko Masayume, Kyoung-Mi Park, Sophia Summers, and Elizabeth Burke than a weekend at the beach. The surf, the sun, the pranks, and the nightly scary movies wrap up the weekend nicely.
That is, until one quiet night a few days later, when Roxanne's closest friend Raven Liasson is hit and killed by a drunk driver. When all traces of her vanish from everyone's minds except for Roxanne and Raven's older brother, Richard Liasson, Roxanne goes into shock and is sent to the hospital, where the doctors cannot find the cause of her stress. When Roxanne is finally released from the hospital, she tries to stay away from anything that might remind her of her best friend...
Later that summer, a few days before school began, while at the mall, Roxanne and her friends are informed that the town will be evacuated due to a wildfire nearby, as a precaution. But the girls refuse to leave without their belongings, and sneak away in the panic and commotion. They all run straight to their homes to grab their things, but are too late to get out, as the fires quickly reach the town and engulf it in flames. They, and a handful of others in town, while minorly injured and still shaking in surprise, manage to survive the event, and search the charred remains of their hometown for each other. They stumble upon a small area located in the middle of their middle school, completely decimated, save for a small field of grass, where they first met each other. Each girl falls to her knees and joins Roxanne in her hymn, as the merciful rain begins to wash over the town, slowly putting out the fires.
The aftermath of the raging fire has left Roxanne, Nadeshiko, Kyoung-Mi, Sophia, and Elizabeth, and other remaining survivors without their families, and without homes. But luckily Richard and his close friend Nathan Clarke, on leave from the Navy to fulfill their college educations, offer to take the girls in and move with them to San Francisco until they're old enough to take care of themselves. When Roxanne sarcastically suggests they all might as well be adopted, Richard and Nathan unexpectedly agree to it. After a long while discussing the matter with each other, Roxanne and the girls accept the offer, believing that they'd be in good hands while starting anew in the bustling city by the bay.
But even before their bags are packed, not that there was much left to pack after the fires, Roxanne is informed by the authorities of the results of a search her foster mother had begun years ago. While looking for her birth parents, Roxanne's grandparents were discovered to be living in Montana. She goes to visit them, and is greeted warmly. But the newly optimistic mood is shattered, as Roxanne's grandparents pass away later that week. However, in their wills, Roxanne, being the only remaining member of the De Vira family, is finally left with her inheritance, the family fortune, and several summer homes, one of which happens to be a mansion just outside San Francisco, with room enough for the entire family. And even while Richard and Nathan manage the money and keep most of it in the banks, Roxanne and her newfound sisters are pretty much given free reign over their lives. Except for school. As the girls' now legal guardians, Richard and Nathan convince them to attend a boarding school, Pacific Bay Academy, nearby. The girls are thrilled and momentarily distracted. Until it was time to head for their new home.
Upon first glance, the mansion, set in an isolated part of the area and surrounded by dense forests, doesn't seem very promising. But upon closer inspection, the girls come to the conclusion that the third floor is haunted, the basement is sealed off, and the attic is unreachable due to missing stairs, bats, and creaking, groaning noises. With the help of several contractors and a ton of patience, the house is soon good enough to live in, and the lives of two guys caring for half a dozen rich teenage girls can now run smoothly, minus the chaos you'd expect from their situation.

Yeah, that's the summary so far for Book 1. Again, there may be small updates to this in some time. But for now, hope you enjoyed.
