There actually is not much risk that your girlfriend is pregnant if you didn't ejaculate inside her or at the opening into the vagina. Some people have a pre-ejaculation fluid sometimes referred to as pre-cum that lubricates the tube running through the penis but the research on that fluid shows that there is little to no sperm in it, so even if you left a few drops of precum inside it isn't very likely.
Incidentally, just for your information, "popping her cherry" or breaking the hymen has nothing to do with whether she becomes pregnant or not. The hymen is just a thin layer of tissue that has an opening that the penis can go through and anytime semen comes out of the penis either at the opening of the vagina or inside of the vagina pregnancy can occur, whether the hymen is there or not.
Now that you are becoming sexually active, you should start using condoms and explore birth control methods so you can maintain your sexual health and pleasure by reducing worrying! You and your girlfriend can start by visiting http://ppfa.org (see link on the right).
