• Cher Horowitz from Clueless

Soundtrack:

• All Your Gold - Bat for Lashes (And today I was a dead girl walking / City light burnt through the tears / Heard you say my name and get to talking / About the love and all the fear / And you saw all the pain I was holding / And yet still you hold me near)
• Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift (It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me / At tea time, everybody agrees / I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror / It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero)
• Consider This - Anna Nalick (Don't give me choices 'cause I can't decide / My mind is soaked in words / I've come to terms with all my insecurities / And purity's no friend of mine / And dreaming doesn't do no good / 'Cause I don't want to lie)
• Harshest Critic - Allison Ponthier (What if all my fears were on display / Right in front of the world, under the spotlight? / Would they still be on my side?)
• Hot Mess - Adelaine Morin (I can't understand it hope this don't cause damage / If I can be honest / I am really just a hot mess / It's not you I promise / Don't mean to be heartless / Know it sounds obnoxious / But I'm going through my process / Nobody is flawless)
• I'm Not Your Hero - Tegan & Sara (Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on / Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand / Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got / It's so hard to know I'm not what they want)
• Left Alone - Fiona Apple (And now I'm hard, too hard to know / I don't cry when I'm sad anymore, no no / Tears calcify in my tummy / Fears go inside a bottle / How can I ask anyone to love me / When all I do is beg to be left alone?)
• Light on - Maggie Rogers (Oh, I couldn't stop it / Tried to figure it out / But everything kept moving / And the noise got too loud / With everyone around me saying / "You should be so happy now")
• Making the Bed - Olivia Rodrigo (I'm so tired of bein' the girl that I am / Every good thing has turned into something I dread / And I'm playin' the victim so well in my head)
• O' Sailor - Fiona Apple (It's double-sided 'cause I ruined it all / But also saved myself / By never believing you, dear / Everything good I deem too good to be true / Everything else is just a bore / Everything I have to look forward to / Has a pretty painful and very imposing before)
• Roma Fade - Andrew Bird (You need a witness just to know you're there / From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair, yeah / You know someone's watching you, watching me, watching you / And all that we look upon / You may not know me but you feel my stare / And if she sees you, it changes you / Rearranges your molecules / And if you see her, it changes her / She's a danger now, after school)
• Someone Gets Hurt - Renee Rapp (Feel my heart beating? / I'm just like her or you / People forget I'm human too / Yes, they do that / This is performance / This is all self-defense / I thought you had the sense / To see through that)
