Go to a doctor. It could be either one or heck both.
Get to one ASAP, unless you want your nose to look like Owen Wilson's of course.

As a member of a fire department rescue squad I seen numerous sporting accidents. Even being there to see them one cannot always tell if something is actually fractured. To tell for sure takes an x ray and the skilled hands of a doctor.
We are not doctors and we certainly cannot see or feel the bones over a website. You need to go to the doctors office or a hospital emergency room to your nose looked at.
If your nose is broken it needs to be properly set so as to avoid any future problems. Proper setting of your nose now will also avoid any cosmetic problems which will be painful to correct.

Only a doctor will say for sure, but from my personal experiences it sounds like your nose was broken. Go in and have it set. If you don't, I promise you you will NOT be happy with the result. I have had acquaintances think it was no big deal, only to have it heal all bent and weird looking.
Always, ALWAYS get something like this looked at IMMEDIATELY. Much cheaper than a nose job.
If your friend did this on purpose, make sure she, or her family, pay your medical bills.
If it was an accident, try not to hold this against her. These things happen from time to time.
Good luck!
