If you're only 13 and already know that the field of linguistics exists,
you're way ahead of the game.  I didn't discover it until I was 16 or 17,
but that still gave me enough lead time to do an undergrad major in it,
which is more than most people manage.  (At my university, at least.)  The
disappointing thing is that my university didn't offer any classed
whatsoever in historical linguistics (even though it had a very good
linguistics department), which has always been my main interest.  When the
time comes to pick potential colleges, you may want to really scrutinize
their linguistics departments to make certain that their areas of interest
match well with yours, though, even if they don't, it will be a
mind-broadening experience.
