Our 13 weeks old Maine coon has a small bare spot under her right eye. I think it may be a scratch or due to irritation from her tears. Does anyone know what it's from?

Looks like an, "I accidentally scratched an itch too hard" sort of nick. Keep an eye on it, if it gets worse call the vet.

I'd definitely watch it.  If it's not improving or gets worse, get to the vet.  It could be that she rubbed it too much or maybe her eye has been weepy and it's a little raw.
