I have an Olympus FE-120, with a 3x optical zoom. My friend has a Olympus FE-110, with a 2.1 optical zoom. However, when we take pics of the same object from the same distance, her 2.1 zoom gets closer than my 3x zoom. Why is this?

Perhaps she is using her digital zoom and you are not. Yours has the longer lens according to the specs.

The FE-120 has 3.0x optical zoom, from 38mm wide-angle to 114mm tele-lens.
The FE-110 has 2.8x optical zoom, from 38mm to 106mm.
Both cameras also have 4x digital zoom.
So if you look at the specs, your FE-120 should be able to zoom in a tiny bit closer than the FE-110 !!

I think her camera has 2.1 megapixels, not zoom. Her zoom is probably 5x optical not 2.1. Also, different cameras have different lenses. The bestter the lens, the better the photo turns out, regardless of zoom.
