If I were a gambling man I'd be putting my money on this scenario...(You say you are old friends and you're sure she cares about you so I'll spot you that as a starting point.)
Your girl has realized she's young and tied down in a needlessly complex and emotionally draining long distance relationship. Even if she's really in love with you that's a total drag. She's trying to spare your feelings from an outright rejection and build distance between the two of you so you naturally drift apart. Her ideal scenario is you're not crushed and she's not feeling guilty about the prospect of meeting someone she's actually able to spend time with.
Hey, long distance relationships are tough. Been there, failed at that. My best advice is to save your dignity, call less and let the thing run its course. Be the bigger person, see it as an attempt to gracefully exit a relationship, and let her go without a big fiasco of a confrontation. It's tough to admit, but these are the kinds of signs that tell you it's not working out like you hope. The tighter you try and hold on to this sort of thing the messier it gets and the more miserable you feel.
You're 18. Go to college with a clean slate and you'll meet all kinds of girls you can actually date in person.
