Coffee Chat w PE Partner - HELP?!!

I have a coffee chat with a partner and co-founder of a great PE firm - this is basically my unofficial interview. What questions would you guys ask?? What would you make sure to review prior to the call? Do you have any advice? Etc etc For context I recently graduated high school and want to work as an analyst there next summer.
