Then you contact her three times in an hour. That turns her thoughts to "weird stalker-type desperation". Because you texted her, you can't tell what her circumstance is, so you can't send the right vibes; better to talk.
Girls dislike dumb desperate boys. And you acted like one of those.
Next time, be smart. Talk rather than text, say your name and where you met up front, say how much you liked your time together, if she seems willing have a plan for a further outing that would suit her.
As for this girl, it's really up to her to call you back in the next few days. If you call you'll only appear more of a stalker. Maybe after a week you could ring and talk with her, saying you'd left a message and you know she must be busy, which gives her an opening to talk about what she has been doing recently.

 You're young, learn on your mistake: play it cool B-) It's just manners. She is not scared, she just doesn't want to date a guy without dating manners. They are complex, far more than holding her jacket and not getting drunk on the first date! Rule #17648: try to contact her twice, then wait for HER. If she doesn't answer, she either doesn't care (in most cases) or something extreme like an accident or illness has happened (very rarely).
Next time, one message is fine. Even more so because you were the gentleman (kudoz to you, my boy!) and initiated the communication. She'll answer if she wants to. Just make sure your delivery report is on at all times ;)

Can you please answer: how much time had passed between your first SMS and the third call?
When you do, I'll answer. Small things matter, especially at that age.

Either way you cant win. So let it go

She is probably with her boyfriend, thats why she didnt want to answer, most women do that.
Or she felt obligated to give you her number, but wasnt really intrested.

 She could just have been too busy to answer the phone, then freaked out that you'd called her so many times? You might have come on a bit strong.
I'd just act normally with her at school tomorrow, and see how things go from here on! Good luck :)

 I don't understand either why someone would give their number if they're just going to ignore the caller??
It sounds like she's not interested. She might have thought, "if I reply that could been seen as a signal that I'm interested." Or maybe she felt obligated to give her number?
If you see her at school, act normal like nothing happened. She's the one who should be feeling awkward anyway. You can make a joke about it if you two talk, or just let it go from your memory.

I don't think she was interested. Perhaps she gave you the number, then forgot and just lost interested. Don't worry about her. Move on.

 shes either not interested or shes really shy and doesnt no how to react to the situation but if that was me id be thinking the same thing as you.just leave it now and see if she talks to you in school if not ask her if she didnt want to talk then why did she give over her number
