For the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, you need to be examined clinically. In case of appendicitis, the pain is in the lower right abdomen and so there is indeed a possibility. It is common in young girls like you. There is probably less likelihood of a kidney stone but ureteric stones are a possibility thought the location of the pain does not match. Please do not wait, rather rush to a hospital as if it is appendicitis, it needs to be managed urgently in order to avoid complications.
