Why do my eyes get really watery?

im in my classroom and notice my eyes r getting watery so i wipe them but as soon as i wiped them more started to come out(there was alot i wiped my eyes with my shirt and it was super wet). My teacher thought i was crying because i was constantly rubbing my eyes and sniffing(because i just got over a cold).

When i went too the bathroom later on that period my eyes felt normal. then i go back into my super cold classroom and the fan is blowing on my and my eyes start to get watery again.

Update:

i know for a fact that i have absolutely no allergies

    i would suspect that the wind from the fan was a factor in making your tear film unstable hence your eye produces more tear to protect your eye from getting too dry and also to prevent direct exposure of cornea to light.
