I have a bet with my friend, but he does not want to believe me. I keep telling him it will not.

Tell your friend that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, so we don't want to be anywhere near there! In fact, we never will be anywhere near there.
The Sun is roughly 25000 light-years from the center of the galaxy (roughly half-way between the center and the edge). We orbit the center, and will never get any closer or any farther away. At least not until the Milky Way the and Andromeda galaxies collide in roughly 3 to 5 billion years, but that's another story!

u do know the milky way is made up of millions of solar systems which contain their own planets and suns and there isnt really any way for our sun to be in the center maybe he should go back to grade school and learn that the milky way isnt just a candy bar

The sun is constantly moving if you consider it from the viewpoint of the entire universe. In our solar system it appears to stay still. But it will not be the center of our galaxy.

I think you're thinking about our current SOLAR SYSTEM. Not the Galaxy. Which is where our solar system resides. And yes. it will still be in the "center" of our solar system, if by "center" you mean that the planets orbit around it.

There is no way to know, since we cannot map the Milky Way.

No, it will remain in the same approximate place that it presently occupies.
