Is it possible to use "straightly" instead of "straight" in 2?
Do you use "straightly" a lot? I have only heard of "straight".

1.Please make a beeline home after school.
2.Please come back home straight/straightly after school
 
Q1: I wouldn't.
Q2: Never.
 
It's probably it's a word, but I don't remember ever hearing it. Try: Come straight home after school.
 
Straightly is archaic. Don't use it.
 
And we make a beeline for something/somewhere. I don't think it works with "home" in any context.

He was so frightened, he made a beeline for the police station and reported the assault.
