You need to get her to eat, or she could get very ill. Or, well, die.

If she still refuses to eat, she'll probably collapse. If she gets taken to hospital, she'll be drip fed until she's strong enough to leave.

i am sure that she must have eaten something, just not regular meals.
dont pressure her to eat, and especially dont steer her towards any high calorie, fatty foods.
offer her something like an apple or some grapes so she at least gets some sugars in her.
if she keeps on like it, tell an adult who can do something or speak to your doctor to ask for advice on what you can do to help.

This is a matter which you can't deal with yourself. When someone has starved themselves for so long it can be dangerous to refeed them. Therefore, she needs to go to the doctors/hospital who will either admit her and get some glucose into her in a safe way or they will send her to a psychiatric unit where they will deal with her in the necessary way. Whatever you don't pressurise her, but make sure she knows the risks she is taking right now.
