If you gave your friend five dinars and took three from her, leaving two dinars with her to collect later, this is usury (riba) because exchange (sarf) must be hand-to-hand. To avoid this, have your friend exchange the five dinars for you, then you take the three, and leave the remainder with her as a trust.
