Start with Allegro. It's relatively straightforward and easy to learn.

Sure, but then you're not using C++ anymore, you're using C++/CLI, which is a different programming language.

Have you got 6 months to learn how to do simple graphical programs? You are biting off too much if you have no idea how to proceed. Adding a graphical interface to a program is like converting a lawnmower into a go-cart. You have to learn how to create the graphical framework before you can drop in your code.
If you haven't been taught graphics, you'll pass without it.
