Just hang in there, Isabella. The cat is afraid of you, too, and it will take a few days for everything to get sorted out. Just make sure your mom keeps both of you safe from one another initially, and doesn't try to make you interact with each other if you don't want to. It won't take long for things to settle down. We even play with our cats sometimes.
Don't worry....it usually takes WEEKS for new pets to acclimate with existing pets. Do a Google search on it...they'll be fine. It helps to separate them for a couple days, so they can get used to each other's smells without stress, though. We usually keep a new cat/kitten in a bathroom for a few days and everybody smells under the door...
P.S. I think you're very cool looking!
