The drama happened just before midday on Friday.
Moments earlier her friend, who has been named locally as 16-year-old Richard Fitzsimons, died after he 'jumped' from the top of the building.
The pair attended the upmarket Aloha College in Marbella which takes in pupils aged three to 18 and is regarded as one of the most expensive international schools in the area, has so far made no comment.
Richard Fitzsimons, 16, is believed to be the British teenage schoolboy who died after jumping from the roof of a department store in a suspected suicide pact
They sparked the alarm after the girl posted an Instagram message which said: 'It's a dirty world that I don't want to live in anymore.'
She added in her pain-filled Instagram story titled: 'I'm Sorry': 'To anyone who has ever loved/known or supported me, thank you, I love you and I will miss you.'
Sales and marketing manager John Henrik, 47, from Bergen, Norway, said: 'I was having a coffee with my wife Larse at our eighth-floor home when I heard a loud bang.
'It was the boy hitting the ground but I thought at first it was a car crash.
'I didn't see him fall or thanks God see his body but when I went to see what was happening spotted a young girl fighting with a security guard on the roof opposite.
'Within seconds two or three others arrived. The struggle lasted for several minutes. The security men were dragging her down from a small platform on the roof and sitting on her. It was very dramatic.
'She seemed very angry and she was right on the edge of the building. More people arrived when she calmed down. It was as if she had just run out of energy and given up.
'There was lots of screaming and lots of chaos in the street below and I quickly realised the noise had been someone hitting the ground when I saw what was happening on the roof because there was no traffic on the road and people were running away from where the boy landed.
'The police were on the scene very quickly. I heard afterwards he nearly hit a pedestrian walking along the pavement when he fell.'

The brunette is believed to have followed up her SOS call with other social media messages she and her companion shared with pals saying they were on their way to the department store in Puerto Banus to 'end their lives.'
A friend's mother alerted the store who sent a security guard up onto the roof after a colleague spotted the couple on store cameras.
A source said: 'Several calls went into to the department store from people who said they had published social media messages warning what they were going to do.
'One was from the mother of a friend who then started looking for them in the vicinity of the building.
'The warning was just that it was going to happen in the store and not where.
'A security guard in the camera control room spotted them on the roof and put out an alert which together with the brave security guard who risked his own safety reaching them 30 seconds later and grappling the girl to the ground from a raised 20 square foot platform, were heroic actions which saved a life.'
'Sadly it was too late to save the boy.'
The couple reportedly told friends and family that they planned to go shopping at the store that day before Richard fell to his death at 11.42am on Friday.
Heartbreaking tributes have been left outside the shopping centre in Spain following Richard's death.
The 16-year-old had earlier announced the apparent suicide pact with his girlfriend on social media.
Well-wishers left flowers and handwritten notes outside the shopping centre where the boy plunged to his death
Candles were also left for the teenager who reportedly attended one of the most exclusive schools in Marbella

Candles were also left for the private school-educated teenager at the spot just outside El Corte Ingles department store, in the upmarket resort of Puerto Banus near Marbella, where he plunged to his death just before midday on Friday 2 November.
One, signed Giulia and Deborah, said: 'You will always be in our hearts, forever love you and we hope you find peace now. Love and kisses.'
Another, written on a piece of brown paper left under a lit candle, added: 'Rest in paradise. I hope you're not struggling wherever you are now. You will forever be missed.'
Police have already said that although the incident is still under investigation, they are treating the British boy's death as a suicide.
His girlfriend was taken to a health centre after suffering a panic attack. Her whereabouts are still not known.
Friends have described Richard as the son of a British father and Brazilian mother.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Sources at the department store he plunged to his death from confirmed they had received calls from the couple's friends after they announced their intention to throw themselves off the roof

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
