How about JAMAICA INN? It's not a short story, but I did read it at that
age.
 
I'd have to second the suggestion of OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK
BRIDGE--wonderful as both a film and short story.
 
Also the CLUELESS/EMMA connection is good for adolescents, although I'm
not sure how this age group would fare struggling through Austen. Still,
armed with the contemporary and accessible film version, it might work.
 
Um...THE TURN OF THE SCREW? Several film versions available there....
 
And...Hitchcock's LIFEBOAT, rather loosely based on Stephen Crane's "The
Open Boat" would work well, I think, especially alongside the Ambrose
Bierce OWL CREEK BRIDGE. Plus, the Titanic craze-mentality favors these
texts, especially among adolescents.
