After all the angst over just asking this girl out for the first time, I imagine it's hard to give it a rest. But let's look at the outcome of any scenario.
She wants to date Anthony and you raise a fuss: she dumps you.
She wants to date Anthony and you don't raise a fuss: she dumps you.
She doesn't want to date Anthony and you raise a fuss: she dumps you.
She doesn't want to date Anthony and you don't raise a fuss: she doesn't dump you.
This is your first girlfriend. Here's a cold, hard fact: she very likely won't be your last. Anybody here who has married the first person they dated can correct me if I'm wrong on this. You can have a nice and worthy relationship with her, but don't worry about things that may break you up. They're going to happen no matter what you do.
