Don't worry, no one is judging you. Plan B is levonorgestrel, and it has higher levels of estrogen in it than regular birth control pills. Bloating is a common side effect of Plan B, so I wouldn't worry, especially this early after taking the pill. Pregnancy symptoms wouldn't begin until probably 2-4 weeks afterwards, if you did become pregnant. However, this is HIGHLY unlikely, as Plan B has a very high success rate, and the chances of pregnancy is somewhere in the ~5% range.
Just to be safe, I'd recommend going to a Planned Parenthood clinic and getting birth control pills (they offer these for free, usually) to prevent this from happening again.
To be safe, I'd also recommend asking for the vaccine at the clinic, the one that protects against HPV. Also PLEASE USE A CONDOM! You don't want herpes or another STD to worry about, being so young (I know you've heard this before, I'm sorry to be repetitive).

Thank you so much, I did get my period I believe, but its extremely early
Plan B is engineered to basically force your body to have your period, and in the process, extremely lower the chances that pregnancy will occur. The fact that you got your period is very good - it likely means you are not pregnant.
I'll add a caveat that if you don't get your next period within a reasonable amount of time (4-5 weeks) to take a pregnancy test, just to be sure. But from what you've written, it seems like you're not pregnant and that Plan B worked just as it is supposed to.
