It could be your hymen. It could also be your urethral opening. It's where your pee comes out. It is extremely unlikey for a young girl to have vaginal cancer. If you are truly concerned, you NEED to tell your mom or your doctor. Better to be safe than sorry.

cause your a virgin it most likely your "cherry" you'll have that till you have sex for the first time then it will go away so im not telling you to go out and have sex but when you do like then next day go and look to see if what ever your talking about is still there if not then it was just your cherry, sounds nasty but the guy will pop it with his penis when you have sex.

I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
Not being a woman I cannot say for sure what that lump may be. What I will say is this; if you are concerned enough to write to the advisors on this Website for information then you have valid reasons for being concerned. You should ask your mother to arrange for you to see a Gynecologist. This is something every young woman should do as soon as she has her first period anyway so that the doctor can check a make sure everything is okay. Then you need to have annual checkups with the Gynecologist just as you do with your family doctor.
There is no need to tell your mother why, other than you have started your periods, which she may or may not know, and you would like to be checked out by the doctor. You may if you wish tell your mother your true reason for wanting to see the doctor and no you do not have to undress and let your mother look at the lump. You are entitled to your privacy.
I am recommending you see the doctor for two reasons. First, a Gynecologist is a doctor you should see on a yearly basis anyway and you should start doing so when your periods start. Second none of us on this web site are doctors and should not ever make diagnoses as to what a potential problem may be. That is what doctors are for. No matter what you may think something is, it probably is far less serious than you think and you should not fear going to the doctor. Fear and not going to the doctor can be the cause of more serious problems. If you ever plan on having children, problems with your reproductive organs need to be checked out by a qualified physician; not one of us doing some quick research on the web. Web research is good to gather more information once you have diagnoses.

What you are seeing is probably your hymen. It will break and go away when you have sex. No need to be scared, it is perfectly normal. Here is a link to pictures. See if what you see isn't similar.

It could very well be your hymen.
Hymen's are a fleshy bit that does cover the vagina opening. They usually have a small hole in in the center of them to allow your menstrual blood to flow out properly. If you don't have an opening in your hymen then you have to have a very small surgery to remove it so that you don't end up getting old blood backed up in there.
If you have ever had your period then you do have an opening though.
Here is a link that shows drawings of the hymen, including the various types of hymens women can have:

STDs can be passed on from mother to child during childbirth. I suppose HPV could be passed along too. HPV would cause a bump like this if it was one of the wart causing strains. If you have ever fingered yourself then you could have also "contaminated" yourself with a strain of HPV.
It could be a tumor. Cancerous or benign. It happens. If this is the case, then you definitely need to see a doctor. If it hasn't grown then, chances are, it isn't cancerous. It should still be looked at though.
No pain doesn't mean it isn't serious. Some very serious things don't cause a person pain.
Speak to your mother again and ask her politely to see a doctor about it. Let her know that you feel it isn't normal and that you want a professional to make sure everything is safe down there. Explain to her the things you've read that might be and express your concerns. You need to see a doctor if it is a growth within your vagina.
