I don't think it's off topic :-)

Looks like a stereotype is a good idea:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10993139/depicting-friend-relationship-between-classes-in-uml
http://www.csci.csusb.edu/dick/samples/uml1b.html#Friendship

--> I would use an association connection named <<friend>>

It's up to you to decide whether you want to mention the friend relation
in the diagram, depending on whether it's relevant for the technology
you want to communicate with the diagram.

Cheers and Best Regards,
