Will Taking Birth Control Pills One Week Late Delay Periods Next Month?

I am 18, 120 lbs, 5 ft 10 in. Today is the last day of my menstrual cycle, and I am supposed to begin my first dose of birth control this evening. The four days I should get my period while on this pill are very inopportune for me, would it be a bad idea to start the pill in a week so that I would get my period on a later date?
