You probably won't have caught cat-scratch fever as it is a domestic cat.
you should wash out the wound thoroughly and then apply some antibiotic cream like TCP or Savalon or something that will stop infection.
If you think it's infected in the next few days, visit your GP

i suggest you wash it out
its highly doubtful that you actually got cat-scratch fever, especially if your cat is up to date on all of her shots.

Go to a doctor just to make sure, wash it out thoroughly. See a doctor just to make sure its nothing bad or major - and yes i am thirteen... why?

Probably not, that comes mostly from wild/feral cats. If you do, it's curable. Wash the bite off and put antibiotic ointment on it.
