No, it's not rabies but I suggest you make a Doctor's Appt right away as it could be getting infected already. Human bites will get infected quickly. Please have your parents get you to a Doctor who can help you much better than we can.

Wash the area well with soap and water, you can apply some antibiotic ointment too. As Rooster said, you may want to tell your doctor that you were bitten.....otherwise, just keep the area clean, watch it for redness, warmth and drainage....if any of these occurs, definitely call your doctor.

Nope...

The only well-documented cases of rabies caused by human-to-human transmission occurred among eight recipients of transplanted corneas, and among three recipients of solid organs. Guidelines for acceptance of suitable cornea and organ donations, as well as the rarity of human rabies in the United States, reduce this risk.

In addition to transmission from cornea and organ transplants, bite and non-bite exposures inflicted by infected humans could theoretically transmit rabies, but no such cases have been documented. Casual contact, such as touching a person with rabies or contact with non-infectious fluid or tissue (urine, blood, feces) does not constitute an exposure and does not require postexposure prophylaxis.

In addition, contact with someone who is receiving rabies vaccination does not constitute rabies exposure and does not require postexposure prophylaxis.

And also from the internet: The incubation period is the time it takes for symptoms to develop after a person is infected with the virus. The incubation period for rabies is usually two to 12 weeks, although it can be as short as four days. It is unusual for the incubation period to last for more than a year.
