A story by Slyhades99. It's about an orphan demigod named Alexander Black and his two friends, Jodi and Jack Smith.

Chapter One
I was orphaned when I was five. I lived with two others on the streets of Manhatten, Jack and Jodi Smith, two fraternal twins. We had no money. No food. And no family. I ran away when my mom died, and Jack and Jodi ran away when they were six when their mom got married. We had met when I came stumbling into them in an alley, almost dead. They had tricked a guy into giving them ten bucks, and they bought as many happy meals from McDonald's as they could. We ate and instantly became friends. For the past nine years, we've been "living" together. Always on the move. "Alex. Get up. Time to go. Jodi was caught climbing out of the building. Someone called the cops!" Jack yelled, shaking me. I got up and ran towards the broken window. I climbed out and saw Jack running to the right. I followed right behind. We ran for ten minutes and stopped in front of Central Park. I was starving because we hadn't eaten for two days. I noticed an apple tree that had a sign that said, Pick Me! I tapped Jodi's shoulder and pointed towards it. She ran straight towards it and jumped and grabbed an apple right off the tree. Jack and I copied. "So Mr. Black. Do you agree that Jodi should shut up about her being older?" He nudged me. "Umm. Yes. You two should just be quiet about it. Ms. Smith. You make Jack so mad he'd probably kill you! Now Mr. Smith, Don't get so mad!" Jodi stuck put her tongue. Her twin copied. "Guys!" I yelled. They looked at me and stopped. We ate as many apples as we could and sat on a bench, silent except for the munching of apples or a kid running by. My name was Alexander Cal Black. I had no memory of my mother and my father left me when I was three months old. Jack Dallas and Jodi Ryan remember their mom, Connie Smith. A week after their mother's marriage to a guy named Tom Edwards. I had black hair and green eyes. Jodi had blond hair and black eyes and Jack had brown hair and black eyes. We got up and walked around the park.
