College Freshman: Got an interview at a trading floor for a summer internship

Hello all,

So I managed to network with a top guy at a bank in high school last year and he followed through and got me an interview for a summer internship. He has now sent my resume to hr. What should I expect given that I have little experience other than an accounting clerk job? How should I prepare? And will they really give me an internship long as I don't screw up or do I have to blow their minds away?

Many thanks!
