Can someone explain this sentence?  It's the the first sentence of a light novel.

>わたしに, 本当の友達っているのかな...?
>Watashi ni, hontou no tomodachi-tteirunokana?

I don't understand the weird blob that is "tteirunokana".  Normally I would expect "ている" to come after a verb.  I've read that "って" can be a colloquial abbreviation for "と", but it's not clear to me how that would work here.
