A VERY RANDOM BL (READ IT)

ude Carter, a handsome and effortlessly charming 13-year-old with brown hair, brown eyes, and a physique that makes him a standout on the soccer field and swim team, has everyone swooning-girls and guys alike. With a passion for baking, he has no shortage of admirers, but Jude harbors a secret: he's gay, though no one knows it yet. The only person who knows and supports him without question is his older brother, Eli, who's always had his back, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Everything changes when a new student, Louis Mercier, joins their class. Louis, with his striking golden blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and soft-spoken nature, quickly catches Jude's eye. As a half-French student who's intelligent and kind but tends to keep to himself, Louis is the perfect puzzle piece to Jude's world. What starts as an innocent crush turns into something deeper as Jude falls hard for the boy who seems to be the only one who doesn't notice the perfect life Jude seems to have on the outside.

But as their relationship deepens, so does the tension, as Jude grapples with his feelings for Louis while navigating the complexities of his own identity. When unexpected obstacles-especially from Jude's family-threaten to tear them apart, Jude must fight for the love he knows is worth it. This is a story of discovery, longing, and the pursuit of true love, no matter the distance, no matter the odds.
