The Girl in the Photograph

One school day, a boy named Tom was sitting at his desk by the window, doing math. It was six more minutes until school ended. 
As he was doing his homework, something caught his eye. Looking at the grass outside, he thought he saw a picture. When school was over, he ran outside fast, so that no one else could grab it.
He picked it up and smiled. It was an image of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had a dress with tights on and red shoes, and her hand was formed into a peace sign.
She was so beautiful that he wanted to meet her, so he ran all over the school asking everyone if they knew her or had ever seen her before. But everyone he asked said no. He was devastated.
When he got home, he asked his older sister if she knew the girl, but unfortunately, she also said no. At this point, it was very late, so he walked upstairs, placed the picture on his bedside table, and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Tom was awakened by a tap on his window, like from a fingernail. It scared him. After the tapping, he heard a giggle. He saw a shadow outside, so he got out of bed, walked toward it, opened the window, and listened for the giggling. By the time he'd reached the glass, it was gone.
The next day, he asked his neighbors if they knew the girl. Nobody did. When his mother came home, he even asked her if she knew her. She said no. Saddened, he went to his room, placed the picture on his desk, and fell asleep.
Once again, he was awakened by a tapping. Taking the picture, he followed the giggling outside. He walked across the road, when suddenly, he was hit by a car. He was dead on impact, the picture still in his hand.
The driver got out of the car and tried to help the boy, but it was too late. He could only pick up and view the picture he was holding.
He saw a cute girl holding up three fingers.
