Hello,
At your age is not a serious condition that may cause such issues with memory.
It could be some stress or fatigue that may cause such issues. If the problem persists talk to your parents about getting evaluated by your Pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
