The I-9 form will require a form of identification that has your date of birth on it -- a driver's license, a passport, or something like that.

So, your plan won't work, since you won't be able to prove employment eligibility.

The worst that can happen is not that the subway will fire you. The worst that can happen is that the subway will be fined for violating child labor laws by hiring you, and then will attempt to collect that money from your parents.
