A younger female friend could be called by her name and then add "~chan" to the end. Often the name is shortened to the first or first two syllables and then add "~chan".

Michi -> Mi-chan

Sachiko -> Sa-chan

Ooh! Thanks! Oh and the boys (this is obviously for a story) are boyfriends.

If you are getting into a yaoi type story there are all kinds of politics about what terms are used for addressing each other, as the terms they use will define their relationship for the readers.

If one uses ~san and the other ~chan the reader will see the first one is the submissive one and the second one is the dominant one...

sorry, I can't be more help.
