Mr. Underwood started asking for volunteers so he could demonstrate some wrestling holds, but there was no way I was going to raise my hand.

Me and Rowley tried to hide out in the back of the gym near the curtain, but that’s where the girls were doing their gymnastics unit.
We got out of there in a hurry, and we went back to where the rest of the guys were.

Mr. Underwood singled me out, probably because I’m the lightest kid in the class, and he could toss me around without straining himself.

When he was doing this one move called the “fireman’s carry,” I felt a breeze down below, and I could tell my singlet wasn’t doing a good job keeping me covered up.
That’s when I thanked my lucky stars the girls were on the other side of the gym.
*breeze : 산들바람, 거침없이 움직이다, 식은 죽 먹기
*I can tell : 딱 보니 알겠네. 확실해. 딱 티나네. 한 눈에 알아 챌 수 있다는 뜻.
*thank one’s (lucky) stars : 행운에 감사하다, 정말 다행이라고[운이 좋다고] 생각하다
Mr. Underwood divided us up into weight groups.
But then I found out who I did have to wrestle, and I would have traded for Benny Wells in a heartbeat.
*divide up into :~으로 분배하다.
*trade for : ~로 교환하다.
*in a heartbeat : 생각해 볼 것도 없이 당장
Fregley was the only kid light enough to be in my weight class. And apparently Fregley was paying attention when Mr. Underwood was giving instructions, because he pinned me every which way you could imagine. I spent my seventh period getting way more familiar with Fregley than I ever wanted to be.

This wrestling unit has totally turned our school upside down.
Now kids are wrestling in the hallways, in the classrooms, you name it.

*You name it : 하여간, 그 밖에 무엇이든지
You can’t walk five feet without tripping over a couple of kids going at it.
And mark my words, one of these fools is going to roll right onto the Cheese and start the Cheese Touch all over again.
*trip over : ~에 발이 걸려 넘어지다
*go at it : (일 따위에) 맹렬한 기세로 착수하다
Let’s go at it. 한판 붙어 볼래?
*Mark my words! : 내 말 잊지 마, 잘 들어 둬!(경고·협박의 말)
*(all) over again : 처음부터 다시
If I can move out of Fregley’s weight class, I won’t have to wrestle him anymore.
I stuffed my clothes with a bunch of socks and shirts to get myself into the next weight class.

At first I thought I should just start loading up on junk food, but then I had a much better idea.
