Just a brief history then i need some suggestions:

I've been playing piano since age 5. I am 18 now. I did stop for about 4-5 years in between, but of couse never forgot how to read. i've been playing again for about 2 years but am stuck. I'm sick of learning "easy" classical music. I have the ability to learn something harder.
Anyhoo, i need to learn something new. I am by no means a beginner. I would say I'm around the intermediate level. I don't take lessons now except for what my friend helps me with. I have a 9 key finger span just about. 8 is comfortable tho.
My friend plays Rhapsody in Blue, and all those other AMAZING pieces that i would die to play, but i just don't have the mind for it right now.
What's something a little easy, but not difficult that you think i could play? I'm open to suggestions.
(p.s. I like pieces that flow and sound light and graceful. But i am still open to whatever.)

Thanks u for ur help!!!
