One Of Us

One Of Us
Back then, as children, we used to play a game, and the name of the game was “one must go”.
We would all gather around the circle and sing while we jumped in and out of the circles.

The plan is that at the point where your matched friend missed the step with you, one of you must go. For the game to continue, the remaining will be paired with another person. That way, the game will continue until the winner emerges.

On that fateful day, I came back from school, rushed to get my food, and quickly went to the corridor to engage my friends who were already playing the game.

Reaching the avenue, an argument ensued between two of our friends; “excerpts”
Ngozi: What do you mean?
Bolu: I mean that you failed the game, and therefore, you must go
Ngozi: I am not going
Bolu: You must go and let another person play
Ngozi: I am not going anywhere. Why would I go?
Bolu: Because the game said one of us must leave, and you are the one
Ngozi: When you failed the game, did you leave?
Bolu: No, because there was none to play, and the game said one of us,
Before Ngozi continued, all of us gathered and reasoned over Bolus’ statement.

Unanimously, we agreed that Ngozi should leave for another person to play because while Bolu replayed, there was no one to replace her, but now we are complete in the game. Therefore, for the rule of the game to apply, “one of us” must leave.
So, Ngozi left for another person to play.
