"Uh, well, yeah, he is nice, isn't he?" said Ella. Then the boyfriend question came. "Well, yes, I guess so," said Ella, considering. "I mean, we've kissed a few times, but not too much because a girl named Kairi is always around, and she tends to get mad whenever I even touch him....." Ella paused. "Really?" said Ella, surprised. "He didn't say anything else? I'm surprised. He seems to have quite a liking for me."
