Valerie Vogrin has written, in Writing Fiction:
Although the first person narrator is usually the protagonist, you may choose to have your first-person narrator be another person in the story. [...] The peripheral point of view is effective when the story's protagonist is blind to his or her own actions and when that blindness or its consequences are significant enough to strongly affect someone who stands outside the actions, as in The Great Gatsby.
Write a story using a narrator who is a peripheral character.
