Wait & see: Unfortunately, you cannot guarantee how much taller you will become, if at all. Increase in height can only occur if your growth plates are open. In the meantime, eat right, exercise regularly & get enough sleep.

Unlikely: It is very likely that you already had growth spurt, which occurs usually at age 11-13, If you already had menarche as expected, you would add only 2-3 inches.
