"Hey, what's up?"
"Hi. Not much, just bored. I thought of a good question, though."
"So, we're calling now?"
"Oh. If you don't want to, we can go back to texting. I just like calling better, feels more personal. I've never been much of a texter."
"I don't mind. I'm just not used to it. I think you are the only person our age who actually prefers calling over texting."
"So for today's question: what's your favourite personality trait of yourself?"
"Let me think for a moment."
"I actually like my honesty. People always say I'm too honest, but I'd rather tell the truth than lie to make others feel better. I also try to be positive by telling people what I like about them. That's being honest too."
"I guess that's true. To be honest, I'd rather have people be a bit blunt. It's much worse to find out people have been talking about you behind your back."
"Exactly. There's already so many liars in this world, I refuse to be one too. Oh, I just thought of a question. Have you ever broken the law?"
"Yeah, I have. I've been drinking since I was sixteen, so."
"And besides that?"
"I don't think so. At least, nothing I can think of right now."
"I was hoping for more, but I guess I should've seen this coming."
"I'm guessing you broke the law many times?"
"One question a day, Ella."
"Fine."
"I have to go now. Mom's been telling me to walk the dog for a while now and if I don't go now, she might get mad."
"Alright, bye."
"Bye."
