So I ask her if I was boring her or anything and she said that I'm not but she just quiet, shy, and not so comfortable with me yet but we've became friends for months now we just never get to hang out.I need help on how to break this ice with her, what can I talk about or what can I do to make her more talkative and more comfortable and not shy with me?

Find something she is really interested in, and use that as an ice breaker. With shy people, sometimes just finding that subject they are passionate about breaks the ice. And some people have trust issues... so it may take some time for her to open up around you. Just keep trying, make sure you are respectful at all times, and don't be afraid of the odd silence. Ask her questions about herself... her fave colour, film, book, tv show, food etc etc.And if she tells you she loves Harry Potter, buy her the DVD's for her birthday. If she says she loves italian food, offer to take her to an italian resturant. If you see her DVD collection and there is a film you love in there, talk about it with her.Don't try tooooo hard. Let it be natural. And give it time. It will come, fear not :)
