You don't bullshit what you did. Instead, focus on the fact that you took the initiative to do grunt work to get first-hand exposure to working at a fortune 100 company. That initiative will look a lot better than you pretending to have done something you didn't. Also, networking with people at your company will be much more valuable in the long-term than putting it nicely on your resume.

You crave what you are not. Dude, your perspective on life sucks.
 

By the time you do FT recruiting, you probably won't even have room for this on your resume. Plus you're a HS student... I would be amazed if a HS student could step in and do anything more than grunt work. Like dictatorcloudy said, don't lie about what you did. That would be obvious to an interviewer and make you look horrible.

 

Focus on improving any process you're on (might be reorganizing folders so things are saved more intuitively), this is what I would expect from a high school student at a F500 internship. But don't stress. Trust me when I say you are way ahead of the curve.
