 Get a pregnancy test with your allowance (if you get one.) If it is not enough, save up for one.
My husband's sister didn't have her period for four or five months once, and nothing was wrong with her, and she wasn't pregnant.
But yeah, go with the pregnancy test.
Also consider the timing of the sex. Was it right before your period? If it was, it wasn't likely to be on one of your "fertile" days. Start keeping track of your cycles and how long they are. Your cycle starts on Day one of your period. At about days 12,13,14,15 or maybe even 16 are your fertile days.

I think your next step is to get a pregnancy kit and see what result it comes back with. I know once my ex-girlfriend was almost a month late but I don't know of someone being over a month late, that seems pretty long. Are you showing any signs of pregnancy?

If you are pregnant and don't want the pregnancy to continue you could consider the abortion pill. It will involve a trip to hospital / out patients but there is no surgery involved, it is just a couple of pills. You only have a certain number of weeks to take this before it becomes too late, after this you have the option of abortion, adoption or to keep the baby.
I assume you don't want a child, so I hope it all works out OK for you. I recommend you tell an adult as soon as possible, maybe your mum? they can help you and the problem won't seem so impossible to get through so even though it might be scary because you don't know how they'll react, it is much better in the long run. If not your mum, another adult you trust and know is responsible.
