2. Cheating. If you sleep with a friend in a playthrough that has a lover, their lover with become your enemy. They send a text, or call the player, in which they will declare their status. This is a rather easy way to do it, seeing as most players don't bat an eye if they have a lover.(either themselves, or their friend.)
   
3. Ex-lovers. One could even possibly gain one from an ex, deciding they will be apart of your life one way, or another. Might need to be more than a bit crazy though.
   
4. Jealous co-workers. Might be a rarer instance perhaps, but an enemy could be earned by spending time with the boss a little TOO much.) enough ire over time would increase the odds I think. Though this could also be achieved if a popularity status in introduced in the workplace. The more popular Co-workers you appeal to, the more likely for you to get an enemy.

2. They could be petty instigators, trying to provoke you, by flexing their status, wealth, or material items.
