If you had sex, then there is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy. No matter what precautions you take, the chance is still there.
When having sex, ALWAYS wear a condom. When used correctly only 3 out of 100 couples get pregnant a year. Those odds are good, but they aren't perfect. Meaning if you are using a condom (even correctly) you still have a chance of getting pregnant. Condoms are more effective with spermicide so when buying, make sure they have it.
Also if possible get put on birth control. Not only does it give you a lighter period, less cramps, clear up acne, could possibly reduce the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer, and ovarian cysts, but it's also a highly effectice method for reducing the risk of pregnancy. Why wouldn't you get put on it? When using the pill correctly, there is only a 0.5% failure rate.
Now think, if you use the pill and a condom together and correctly, the risk of getting pregnant is almost virtually impossible. Notice: I said "ALMOST". When having sex, there is ALWAYS a risk of getting pregnant no matter what precautions you take.
If you have sex and don't use protection, you can and most likely will get pregnant. If getting pregnant is going to be an issue, either protect yourself or don't have sex at all. ]
