Hi
Kissing and hugging is not rape.
It looks like the girl is threatening you and you are getting scared.
Police in order to file a rape case, will ask the girl to undergo a medical test and the doctor should certify that she was raped.
Mere accusation of rape does not hold water in court.
So no worries.

Dear Concerned, Well her parents can book a case if they want, as you say that you kissed her with her consent at same time you admit that she is a minor. Let me tell you that her consent will not be valid since she is still a minor. Further they might not book rape case but they can go for Molestation/outraging the modesty of a women and book under Sec. 354 of IPC which will be non-bailable offence. Try to convenes her parents with the help of community elders. Along with be in touch with lawyer in case things turn out to be unfavorable for you. We also provide legal assistance in such cases.
