I would get it checked out. if you are active in sports may be meniscus tear or other ligament strain. F/u/ w/ orthopedics get an xray and MRI

Anterior patella syndrome is quite common in teenaged girls. See your doctor who may recommend exercises, or physical therapy, in addition to the occasional dose of acetaminophen. Having a proper exam and diagnosis will reduce the need for worry. Best wishes.
