"I see you like to study," I said. "Well done." Percy snorted. "I hate to study. I've been guaranteed admission with a full scholarship to New Rome University, but they're still requiring me to pass all my high school courses and score well on the SAT. Can you believe that? Not to mention I have to pass the DSTOMP." "The what?" Meg asked. "An exam for Roman demigods," I told her. "The Demigod Standard Test of Mad Powers." Percy frowned. "That's what it stands for?" "I should know. I wrote the music and poetry analysis sections." "I will never forgive you for that," Percy said."

"You don't know what I was going to--" "You were going to say, 'At least we're not being followed,'" Percy said. "That'll jinx us. Immediately we'll notice that we are being followed. Then we'll end up in a big battle that totals my family car and probably destroys the whole freeway. Then we'll have to run all the way to camp." Meg's eyes widened. "You can tell the future?" "Don't need to." Percy changed lanes to one that was crawling slightly less slowly. "I've just done this a lot."

"Meg looked at me with something resembling respect. "What did you do to them?" "Nothing," I said. "Half the trick to being a god is knowing how to bluff."
