This can happen occasionally and be a normal variation in your bleeding. Some things may trigger it: stress, missing a pill, taking antibiotics just to name a few. If it continues to happen, you should see your Gyn as you may need a pill change, or a sonogram. If the change only occurs one month, no worries. It’s always good to keep a calendar of your cycles - lots of good apps for this.

Unlikely, but not impossible. Take a test if your period is late, just in case. Sounds like you are getting close to full sexual activity in the relationship, so please talk to your mom or an aunt and get in some reliable birth control.
