You're fine. Periods are confusing things, especially at first. Some girls will get them and they'll be regular from the very start, but most will notice a lot of irregularity. This means you might get your period every other month, or you might get it in September....and not get it again until April.
It can stop and start, and this is due to your body readjusting itself to all the hormones flooding your system. Chances are things are fine, but a quick chat with a family doctor might put your mind to rest.
Another good idea is to buy a pocket calender and keep track of your period on there - circle the days you have it, and write on it which days you gets cramps, feel moody, etc. This can help make sense of your period and will eventually be a good way to keep track of it. Right now, there's no telling when it may come again, so make sure you've always got a pad/tampon in your bag.
In the meantime, try not to worry. If your period hasn't shown up by, say, February, I would definitely see a doctor just to make sure things are okay.
