I'm not sure what do you want to say but I'll try to help you.
If you're speaking about you friend that is a girl, you should say: Ma amie
If you're speaking about your friend that is a boy, you should say: mon ami
If you're speaking about your friends that are girls, you should say: mes amies.
If you're speaking about your friends that are boys, you should say: mes amis.
It does not mind if you are a girl or a boy

Re:French- how to say a friend who is a girl
Hello! In french, we say "mon amie" and not "ma amie", because it doesn't sound well. We don't use "xxxxa ayyyy". For a feminin word, we always use "ma", but when the following word begins with a voyel, we use "mon"

bonjour emily
tu dois dire mon amie, parce que tu ne peux pas dire "ma" suivi d`une voyelle. Tu dois aussi dire mon "oreille" (my earings) ou mon ombre (my shadow). Bonne chance. Alice

Re:French- how to say a friend who is a girl
The correct response to your question is "Mon amie" if your friend is a girl and "Mon ami" if he is a boy. As you can spot you make the difference with the added "_e" letter in the feminine case.
You do not use Ma amie in order to avoid (as stated above) to say two vowels in a row - in all these cases you keep "mon" and do not use "ma".
