Nepenthe (n.) is a fictional medicine for sorrow, literally an anti-depressant - a "drug of forgetfulness" mentioned in ancient Greek literature and Greek mythology, depicted as originating in Egypt.

Trinity King has been locked away in a school for the "gifted" ever since she predicted the exact number of people murdered in the London terror attack of 2018.
  
With every day a chore, trying to not be consumed by her thoughts and endearing stomach cramps, Trinity feels the world around her stir. And when Nathan Langston turns up, proclaiming to be able to hear the thoughts of others - and the dead - she knows she is not alone.
  
When people start disappearing at Rosewood Asylum and School For The Gifted, Trinity can't tear away her keen eye. As more and more children vanish under the veil of the night, the numbers add up, and Trinity realizes a horrifying truth.
  
Because whenever she blinks, the numbers 2, 4 and 9 are imprinted on her eyelids. And she's about to find out the reason why.

Of course she has fears of her own, but most of the time she acts as if it's nonexistent. Cassiopeia revolves her life around keeping this picture perfect image of herself, the girl with perfect grades, perfect hair, and the perfect life. That's what's always been expected of her, which is why, since the fourth grade, she felt infatuated by Richie Tozier. He's everything she's told not to be, and isn't. It made her wonder how he could do it all so easily, up to the way he speaks, and down to the way he acts. Which is odd to her, because she felt she needs to despise him. But instead, she spent her days in class sneaking glances at him, and getting any chance to talk to him no matter how nervous she gets. Cassiopeia tries her very hardest to hide her crush from the glasses eyed boy. That isn't the case for Richie, though his crush on the girl only started in the sixth grade, he flirts with her at any chance he's get's. Which isn't much, due to their completely separate lives. Up until something dark, a shape shifter, comes upon to the town of Derry cursing the children who once had no care in the world. 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ (extended summary inside) (strong language) (it 2017) (started: 10/28/17) (ended: 6/5/2020)

"You know, don't you?" I took a deep breath. His gaze was still on me. "What do you mean-" "Don't play dumb," he cut me off, and I swallowed. "I..." I paused and stared at the ground. "I don't know much... I don't know yet." "Do you know who I am?" I shook my head. "I know you're not normal." I looked up. "But I don't know why." His eyes flashed silver as I tried to read his expression, but came up empty. "I know your eyes change color because of your emotions. But I don't know what it means." As the room fell silent, he averted his gaze. ******* On her first day on campus, Rayline Hale, an average girl just starting college, never thought her world would change.
