Hi Meen Welcome to WDC! (Writing.Com)
Man! Poor girl. I think if I was her, I may be forever scared to step into another car. But really, the girl should have called 911 and try to help the poor man. Then she's able to go about her business, like nothing happened? Some may say she deserves what she gets
The Beginning- The beginning starts out pretty good. It starts to get a little confusing, but by the middle, we understand what's going on, and how it's related.
The Title- Creepy title. Anytime one feels like they're being watched, but they don't know by whom, is very unnerving.
The Description- Nice description. Although, it only describes the second half of the story. You may try a description which will describe the whole story, but still leave an air of mystery:
Dharlene survives a hideous crash. Will her luck change?
The Ending- Very nice ending. The strongest part of your story. You brought it to a creepy close. Nice job!
The characterization- Just by Dharlene's actions we learn quite a bit about her character. Some good, others not so much.
What I liked best about the story- You really picked up speed by the middle of your story. Your story started coming together a bit more. And you have a nice, strong closure.
I do think this story has promise. Fix the mistakes and flesh it out a bit, and it can be a really good story. If you do decide to edit your writing, please let me know and I'll come back and review again and re-rate!
The below are only my suggestions. Please use or discard them as you see fit.

Sarah zigzagged the car, trying to gain control.
But Dharlene had the opportunity to open the door and leaped out of the car, rolling and crying in pain as her skin scratched the rough road, leaving open wounds that sting as fire.
Dharlene, a passenger in the car, was able to open the door and leap out of the car. She hit with a thud, spinning round and round, crying in pain as her skin scraped against the rough road, peeling back her skin, leaving gaping wounds, which stung like fire.
And so she watched Sarah, crying for help as the car run straight in front along a drop. She saw Sarah’s eyes, full with tears, as she fell down the cliff inside the car helplessly, pleading for Dharlene to help her.
I'm a little confused how Dharlene could have seen this? She has already jumped out of the car, and the way she hit, I'm sure she would still be lying on the ground, behind the car. Just a thought
She got back to her senses and started to go off inside the building because she’s already late for her next class.
She came back to her senses. Jumping up, she ran inside, already late for her next class.
