Narrative:
I was conducting pattern operations in a C-150 to runway 36 at vpz. The weather was cavu at the time and I was the only one in the pattern; self-announcing on the CTAF. After my first landing; and while still rolling out on the runway; I observed a bright yellow [aircraft] complete a left base to final turn to runway 18. It appeared that the aircraft was attempting to land on 18; and the aircraft appeared to be under its own power. Although I did not hear any radio communications from any other aircraft; I immediately used my radio to announce that I was still on runway 36 and attempting to vacate as soon as possible (using plain language). I also maneuvered my aircraft to the left side of the runway to attempt to create more distance between myself and the other aircraft; should it not see me and continue to land. The [aircraft] landed on the left side of the runway 18 while I was still rolling out on runway 36. I managed to exit the runway at a taxiway before the [other aircraft] got to my aircraft; however there was probably less than 400 ft of horizontal separation between our aircraft on the same runway. After exiting the runway; I announced on CTAF that I was clear of the runway; and immediately asked the unicom for a radio check; to which I received an immediate response to the affirmative. I never heard the other aircraft make any radio calls while it taxied to the ramp.

It appeared that the aircraft was attempting to land on 18; and the aircraft appeared to be under its own power.
