I kinda enjoy the dynamic between Betty, Veronica and Cheryl. They often were some version of friends to enemies to friends.

Although I think it would be an interesting twist on the trope if shows would implement an enemies to lovers to friends idea in shows. Maybe some combination of the three.

I haven't watched "Riverdale," but from what I know, that makes sense.

"Gossip Girl" arguably did that with Dan and Blair, going from enemies to dating/hooking up to friends.

Yeah, it’s very good personally and has all kinds of teen drama. Not as much as I would like. But for instance, Veronica kisses Betty in the pilot. Then they became friends and from time to time they come into conflict, before becoming friends again.

Gossip Girl definitely did something like that with Dan and Blair. Although I don’t know that you could call them enemies. They definitely didn’t like each other.
