Unidentified trauma?: At your age, the most likely explanation is trauma that you can't recall (yes, this does happen). Or something happened that wasn't severe enough to attract your attention. Less likely, this could be an early sign of a form of arthritis. You can try wearing an OTC splint for a few nights/days, but if goes on for another week or so, you should see your doctor and consider an x-ray. Good wishes:)
