Take a deep breath and just tell her. Mono is caused by a virus like a flu or a cold it can be spread many ways not just from kissing.
As you grow older you will realize that you have to have a sense of humor as well as responsibility to make relationships work. Now is a time for both, the responsible thing is to tell her. Then, deal with it tenderly and with humor, life and love is not a guided tour but a journey.

Hi jory,
You have to tell her right away, this is a very serious disease and she needs to get checked out by her doctor right away. That's the bad news. The good news is, mono is not necessarily passed on from kissing or sex. I know this because I got mono when I was 13 years old, before I had ever been kissed or had any other sexual contact. Don't worry OK? Just tell her, right now. She'll appreciate your concern for her. Take care of yourself, you will get through this. Good luck jory, get well soon.

Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, although similar signs and symptoms are sometimes caused by cytomegalovirus. Mono is most common in young adults or adolescents. The infection often goes unrecognized in young children due to minimal symptoms.
Mono has an incubation period of four to six weeks, although in young children this period is shorter. Symptoms such as fever and sore throat usually lessen within a couple of weeks, although fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes and swollen spleen may last for a few weeks longer.
Symptoms of mono - mononucleosis:
Sore throat, perhaps a strep throat that doesn't get better with antibiotics
Fever
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck and armpits
Swollen tonsils
Weakness
General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
Skin rash
Soft, swollen spleen
Loss of appetite
Less frequently occurring symptoms of mono include:
jaundice (yellow cast to skin)
headache
neck stiffness
sensitivity to light
cough
shortness of breath
chest pain
rapid heart rate
fatigue
nosebleed
hives
Also referred to as the kissing disease.

having mono is no worse than sharing a cold or flu or chicken pox - just tell her

be honest. tell her. check into how you can really get mono.... it's not necessarily from "kissing" someone.
