The part that is still stuck firmly in my head because it seems to have had quite an impact on me is near the end of this section - in chapter 17. From page 197.
Synopsis: Ruth tells Kathy that Tommy does not like her as more than a friend.
I think that Ruth wanted to convince Kathy of this fact so that she would be able to destroy her relationship with Tommy completely. By doing so, she can herself attempt to convince Tommy that she is in love with him and somehow seek to apply for a deferred donation.
However, it is clear that Ruth does not genuinely chersih her relationship with Tommy. This is clear when she sauys, "...maybe me and Tommy, we might not be a couple for ever. That's no tradgedy."

I agree. she seems only to be with him for show, either to fit in with the veterans or to fasttrack to getting her donation deffered.
