Another theme is friendship. High school is a time when friendships are formed and tested. Stories often explore the narrator's relationships with friends, like in 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' which has elements of first - person narrative and focuses on the deep friendships among the girls in high school.
Another great one is 'Eleven' by Sandra Cisneros. In this short story, the first - person narrator, a young girl in school, experiences an embarrassing situation on her eleventh birthday. It beautifully captures the emotions and insecurities of a high - school - age child.
Here are some recommended super short school novels:
1. [The rest of my life is long, but I can't do anything about it. This novel contains both time-travel and modern storylines. It's sweet and sadistic.]
2. " Tall, Rich, and Handsome Fall in Love with a Silly, White, and Sweet Girl ": This novel tells the romantic love story of the school period, depicting the beauty and persistence of the first love.
3. " Master Lu's Little Cutie Is Super Sweet ": This novel was about a transfer student who became a popular figure on campus and had a sweet campus romance with the school hunk.
4. " Coddle Him and Cure Him ": This novel is the ending of a short story about a wealthy family. It tells the story of the female protagonist transmigrating to a wealthy family and healing each other's spiritual pain with the male protagonist who has unique medical skills.
These novels were all super short stories with campus theme. The plot was sweet and fascinating.

They are popular because readers can easily relate to the main character. Since it's in the first person, it feels like you are experiencing high school life right along with the protagonist.
One great example is 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky. It gives a very real and raw look into high school life through the eyes of Charlie, the main character.
The first or third person of a short story depends on the author's personal preference and writing style.
First-person writing usually allows the readers to participate in the story more directly, allowing them to understand the characters and plot more deeply. This kind of writing style could enhance the realism and sense of immersion of the novel. It was more suitable for novels with strong emotional descriptions and character creation.
Third-person writing could better show the characters and plot in the story, but at the same time, it would lose some of the realism brought by first-person writing. Compared to first-person and third-person writing, it was more objective and calm to present the story, which helped to build a more rational and logical world.
Therefore, the choice of first or third person depended on the type of novel and the author's writing style. Different novels needed different writing styles to better convey the feelings and thoughts that the author wanted to express.
Some common ones could be 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. It's a story about a young couple who sacrifice their most precious possessions for each other, showing the true meaning of love and selflessness.
One of my embarrassing first day of high school stories was when I got lost on the way to my first class. I was wandering around the halls looking like a total fool while everyone else seemed to know exactly where they were going. It took me almost half of the class time to finally find the right room, and when I walked in, all eyes were on me. I felt so stupid.
