Even if you could, best not to. The more common usage is "there's friction between the two of them" and "he has a score to settle".

Hi,
The words 'friction' and 'score' both usually suggest problems that develop over a period of time.
eg We've had a lot of friction since she joined our department last year.
eg I have a score to settle with him because of what happened between us five years ago.
Best wishes, Clive
