I think you were too young, especially as it was a classmate, and under the circumstances. I didn't attend my first wake until I was in college, and that was unplanned (on my part.) I was returning home on vacation and my parents met me at the train station with "oh by the way, we're stopping on the way home for your grandfather's cousin's wake." I never saw so many elderly relatives in my life until we had a family reunion many years later, lol.
