Yeah, I dunno, I guess so, because they were friends and stuff, but normal people seem to almost feel each other's pain quite literally. I can't even fathom how seeing someone cry can make you cry. I guess these people are way more "tight" with each other than I could ever manage with anyone. They also go to each other's houses constantly which is something I never did. It's likely they knew her dad.
When I say these things, I'm not criticizing normal people at all, I just don't grasp it. I admire them for being able to express themselves so unhindered.

Only me and someone else didn't because we didn't see why we were meant to, the other girl was actually made to feel seriously guilty by other classmates for not being upset... I don't get it

I don't get it either. I would also not have cried had I been there, and would also have found the exam arrangement a little inconvenient, but OK, I can understand that the gravity of the situation is far more important I guess.
