it's no coincidence that all the innocent people involved in the story remember that day clearly.

-"cathy" girl remembers sketchy dude at her house being high
-other girl remembers that hae came to get food or whatever right after school
-other girls remember conversations about rides and what hae was doing after school

-adnan cant even tell us if he went to track practice or not




I'm behind in the thread. There is a ton of research on memory; we are really bad at accurately remembering things, even, and maybe especially, surrounding emotional events. We should be skeptical of the finer details of anybody's recollection.

Somewhat true, but I can more vividly remember parts of the day when I was a senior in high school(22 years ago) and one of my best friends died. There are moments that are a blur, but some of the events of that day are so vivid it's like it happened yesterday.

That said, I don't think it's far fetched to believe Adnan has a hard time remembering some of the minutiae of that day. From what we do know, it was just another mundane day up until that evening when Hae went missing. And even then, everyone has said they didn't think at the time it was that big of a deal that she was missing.
