I know this is not the answer you are looking for. Everything comes at its proper time. Everyone develops differently. Remember you are carrying two different sets of genes, your moms and your dads, so you need to look not only at mom but dads mom and his sister as well if he has a sister. Even if they too were early bloomers this does not mean you too will get your period when they did.
When your body is ready it will release the necessary hormones to let your period start. Until then relax and enjoy the fact that you don't have to deal with it. Once it comes you will have to deal with it for the next forty years or so. Something you will soon tire of and not look very favorably on that time of the month each month.
You are 12 not yet a teenager. You have time still for your body to develop and change. Your period is not what defines you as a women. Frankly no part of your body or a particular women's bodily function defines a women as a women. It is a lot more complex than than, something you will understand better as you and your body mature. To understand exactly what I mean you may want to discuss this with your mother.
While I'm on the subject of discussions with mom. When it comes to different things that will happen to you over the next few years. There should be nothing you should be afraid to ask mom about. Remember mom is your best source of information about what is happening to you. Mom was once your age and has gone through everything you will go through.
Mom can explain every ache and pain you may feel and help you decide if you need to see a doctor. You should tell mom when you get your period so she can help you properly care for yourself. Make sure whatever pains you feel are proper.
You have breast, mom should show you how to examine yourself for lumps. This is very, very important even for someone as young as you. This is not something sexual it is a life saving exam. I know, my wife found a lump two years ago through self-examination and is now two years cancer free. So please do not be embarrassed to talk to mom when something hurts or is bothering you.
To answer your question: Relax all in good time.

They will come pretty soon.
Usually what happens is that first you develop breast and then pubic hair.
These are signs of puberty.
Once all that happened you periods will come.
Some people don't get them until they are 15 so there is noting to worry about.
Just be ready and know not to be scared when they come.
It doesn't hurt and you have noting to worry about.
