Princess. It's the be-all and end-all
for high school seniors in Portland.

brings in a lot of money

you're going to make a beeline for
the falafel truck on Burnside Avenue.

toward something
ex> When my ex-girlfriend saw me at
the party, she made a beeline for the front door.
You can read me like a book. Come on, let's get going.
* read sb like a book: to know someone

can read her like a book.
