Every story has five structural parts, usually represented in for of a pyramid,  which consists of: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. Exposition is the first part  which sets/exposes the ground for the story to develop. As such, exposition can include the setting, characters background or prior events which motivate characters action.

In the story, exposition represents the setting of the story - both place and time. We can see Samar going home from school on a Friday afternoon. This setting will be the ground on which motivates Samara's idea of building a community center because on her way home, she realizes that there is no place for everyone to rest and enjoy.
