And that's the part I don't think is simple. Misaki Fujioka was still alive when Mei first started school in 3-3. Before then it was never brought up becasue no one thought it would happen that year and as far as Mei knew she wasn't in any danger yet. I've actually mapped out the events. She started school, got put on the ignored list, went clothes shopping with Fujioka, saw the color, then Kouichi got put in the hospital around the same period that Fujioka was dying, then met Kouichi. So she was already in a hopless situation and didn't think telling them when it happened would stop ignoring her. Which is plausible because, she was already being ignored. With that being said, in the anime, she refused at first only to be guilt tripped by Kubodera.
