Interview skills super important- need to be able to reassure your interviewer that you are willing to sell your soul to the industry, and you should do great. But, genuinely, I'm still a novice in this sport but most benefits have been gleaned by consistently studying the industry from people you know, online resources, etc. You may not know what you're looking at or if it's helpful at first, but it all starts to coalesce into some level of understanding after a while. Full immersion.

Enjoy your summer while you can and earn some $$$. If you find an internship now, it will most likely be unpaid since you have 0 experience and aren’t in college yet. If that's okay with you while being in high school, kudos to you, man.
Here are some things you could do now that will help you once you’re a freshman in college.
Sorry man you're too late. Goldman Sachs has an internally monitored list of candidates since middle school.
Better luck next time.
In all seriousness a summer job in something client facing will make you stand out for freshman internships.
No.
For now just focus on having good grades and some extracurriculars to get into a good school. Get into reading. Learn a second language. Practice sports to stay healthy and fit (college babes are on the way). That will pay way more than some useless internships.
If you want to grab the basics, I recommend to start with Khan Academy, there is a finance course. If not, open Coursera and follow a course named Finance for Non-Finance professionals.
