Can you sue a friend?  Of course, but your problems are (a) finding him/her to serve (although you may be able to get a default judgment if you make diligent efforts to try to locate and serve him/her); and (b) assuming you succeed in your suit, collecting on your judgment, either because you can't locate your ex-friend, or he/she has no assets or income from which to satisfy the judgment.
