It's highly unlikely that your girlfriend will become pregnant, based on what you have described, but you should both be aware that sperm can live outside the body for about an hour before it becomes inactive.
One does not become pregnant instantly nor do pregnancy symptoms appear immediately. Stress and anxiety, however, can result in an increase in stress hormones which in turn can impact the menstrual cycle and change a period's timing, flow and more.
If you are truly thinking about how old and responsible you are then it would be good to get a grounding in basic sex matters and to consider using contraception, such as condoms, both for your own sake and that of your girlfriend.
